@Ibeagle, Karpov was champion from 1975 to 1985...He lost to Kasparov in 1985 at Moscow.
Lets face it, both men are legends and I personally respect both players! Kasparov vs. Fischer would have been the dream match. (Ok, Fischer vs. Karpov too)
Kasparov and Karpov are clearly equals. The difference in wins is only a couple of games. Overall Kasparov dominated the game during the next few decades.

@Progrose 100% Concur with your statement.Even I never felt one of them was lesser. Both are Titans of equal measure.

I do not really understand why Karpov always came late to these matches?

Karpov proved his value a lot of times. Those matches, with wins by one point only, show us how they was together.
Kasparov talks a lot about Karpov genials qualities.
I prefer Karpov, but, at this level, a little difference can make the difference.
A Patzer.
