Garry Kasparov defeats old rival Anatoly Karpov Former world chess champion Garry Kasparov easily defeated his predecessor, Anatoly Karpov, in an exhibition match in Valencia, Spain. Kasparov won 3-1 in 25-minute games and 6-2 in five-minute games. The largest margin of victory in their five world chess championship matches, between 1984 and 1990, was only two points. Karpov, 58, still plays occasionally in tournaments, while Kasparov, 46, officially retired in 2005. Yet Karpov seemed rustier. He lost several games, including at least one winning position, by running out of time. The rivals will play another chess match in France in December. Proceeds will go to charity...
