In the beginning of the 1980s, time became incredibly "condensed" for Garry Kasparov, and in 1981 and 1982 he overcame the last steps before his long-term rivalry with Anatoly Karpov like a knife through butter passing through the elite!
Once upon a time, a 12-year-old Garik met with the World Champion in a simul against the teams of the Palaces of Pioneers, but now the 19-year-old Garry had to meet with him one-on-one at the four-teams tournament. The intrigue did not exclusively take place on the chessboard - these two games became the prologue to the "interesting chess dialogue", but also far beyond it.
Then, like any ardent young man flying from victory to victory, Kasparov had to go through the "Petrosian School": he received two heavy defeats in won positions against the ninth World Champion in Moscow and Tilburg. Petrosian reminded Garry accustomed to knocking out opponents that the stronger the player, the tougher his resistance - an important lesson for the 13th World Champion.
Then there were two incredible successes, although at that time few people were surprised by his victories in all tournaments without exception - at the USSR Championship in 1981 with Psakhis, and then in the Moscow Interzonal Tournament in 1982 that made him a candidate.
There are only three steps left before the meeting with Karpov for the crown, three Candidates' matches! This, and much more - in the next discussion between the 13th World Champion and Ilya Levitov.
