Default Re: Kasparov vs Karpov, 1984

Regarding the health of the players:

Without respect to what happened in this match, Karpov's weak health was well known, I think even by 1984. Longer matches were not his forte. In addition to that, Karpov was 33 and Kasparov was only 21. Obviously a longer match would favor Kasparov.
