Exworldchampion Anatoly Karpov turns 62 today.
We would like to congratulate the former world champion
with his birthday. Karpov became champion in 1975 when
Fischer refused to defend his title. Karpov defended his
title against Korhnoi i Baguio City in 1978 and Merano
1981. He lost his title to Garry Kasparov in 1985. In 1993
he again became world champion after beating
Jan Timman in FIDEs world championship match. He was
champion til 1999. His last tournament victory came in
Cap d’Agde last year when he beat Ivanchuk in the final.
Nowadays Karpov plays seldom but he will play a rapid
cup in the Ukraine next month. He is surely the mostwinning
champion of all times.
