Curious fact
Although still a Soviet citizen, Kasparov refused to play under the USSR flag. Instead, he had a small Russian tricolor badge pinned to his chest, the flag that would be adopted by the Russian Federation after the collapse of the Soviet Union a year later
Garry Kasparov’s scoresheet of Game 23 at the 1990 World Championship Match. It was the fifth and final Kasparov–Karpov match, the first twelve games of which were played in New York, USA, and the other twelve taking place in Lyon, France. Karpov won this particular game, but Kasparov had been up two points by that point and a draw in the last game secured him a 12½-11½ victory.
