Kasparov vs. Short, Game 10(1993): A Masterclass in Ruy Lopez


Introduction


There are certain games in the great history of chess which have transcended the level of simple competition and risen to become classic masterworks of strategy, tactics, and psychological warfare. Game 10 of the 1993 World Chess Championship between Nigel Short and Garry Kasparov is by far one of such games. Played in London, the game was a turning point in the match, with Kasparov's impeccable kingside assault culminating in a resounding triumph.
