GARDE
Chess Clock(made in Germany)
When the then FIDE President, Florencio Campomanes,
flouted the governing body’s own regulations by awarding the venue to
Manchester, without taking into account the choices of the players, the
two participants promptly formed a rival organization - the Professional
Chess Association.
The
resulting match – sponsored by The Times newspaper
– was held under the auspices of the new body in
London
, September-October 1993. Garry Kasparov
won convincingly (+6,-1,=14).
