Karpov-Korchnoi Rematch?
World chess champion ANATOLY KARPOV and his No. 1 rival, VICTOR KORCHNOI, may have their next encounter in April in Washington, D.C. The legendary BOBBY FISCHER has also been invited to join the planned World Cup Tournament, but he hasn't answered yet. Karpov said in a recent interview in a Soviet newspaper that the Washington tournament “will probably be my next official appearance,” but Korchnoi doubts it.
