"The quality of games of the Fischer-Spassky match didn't give grounds for challenging the world champion," Mr. Kasparov told the Russian labor daily newspaper Trud. Mr. Fischer last week won his match with Boris Spassky 10-5. The match was played for $5 million in Yugoslavia despite U.N.-ordered sanctions that prohibit commercial dealings with the Serb-led republic. Mr. Kasparov, who defeated challenger Anatoly Karpov last year, conceded a "hypothetical" possibility of playing Mr. Fischer. This article is copyright 1992 The Washington Times.
