In this first episode of Masters and Matches, Peter Doggers and Arne Moll tell about the very last of the many matches that Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov played against each other: their rapid and blitz match in 2009 in Valencia, Spain. The event was part of a festival called 'Birthday of Modern' chess and included several lectures about the city of Valencia's importance to the way we play chess today. Arne and Peter travelled together to Valencia to attend the festival, and witnessed the legendary "two Ks" Kasparov and Karpov playing a fierce match, full of fighting chess. The episode includes fragments from their press conferences, so you can hear some comments from the players at the time.Hope you enjoyed the show!
