My claim to fame. I was there at the World Chess Championships 1993. Kasparov v Short. Game 1

Back in 1993 when I was 26, I went to the first game of the WCC in London. I managed to pass myself off as a journalised because I had a half decent SLR Camera.

So I was on stage for five minutes with Kasparov and Short. Taking these pictures

I remember after the game I came out of the Savoy Hotel and saw Kasparov’s mother waiting outside. And as I left the car park the car in front of me was non-other than Kasparov. I was behind the car for about a mile. Before we went our own ways.

Nice photos. It looks like you had a lot of competition from the media scrum! It must have been great to be there and see Nigel take on Garry. Thanks for sharing!
