The World - News from May 30, 1985

The head of the International Chess Federation announced that a replay of the world title match between champion Anatoly Karpov and challenger Gary Kasparov will start in Moscow on Sept. 2. Florencio Campomanes told a news conference in Madrid that the match will have a 24-game limit and that whoever wins six games or 12.5 points will be declared champion. A victory will be worth one point to the winner, and a draw gives each player half a point. Last February, Campomanes halted the first Karpov-Kasparov match after 48 games--40 ended in draws that did not count--on the grounds that the two players were exhausted.
