The FIDE World Chess Championship 1993 saw Anatoly Karpov, representing Russia, reclaim the FIDE World Chess Champion title after Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short broke away from FIDE to establish the PCA. Held in Jakarta, Indonesia, Karpov faced Jan Timman, the runner-up in the Candidates Tournament, in a match overshadowed by the division in the chess world. Karpov delivered a commanding performance, securing a 12.5–8.5 victory through his exceptional endgame skills and strategic dominance. This triumph reinforced Karpov’s legacy as one of the greatest players in chess history, despite the ongoing controversy surrounding the championship’s structure.
