![[Short's career was dominated by his rivalry with Garry Kasparov, the player with the highest rating of all time. They met as juniors, then as grandmasters, and finally in the 1993 world championship. Kasparov came out on top in 1993, as he usually had.] I had him on the ropes in several games, ... but he was incredibly tenacious. He suffered in a lot of the games, but because of his resilience I wasn't able to put him out. I discovered there was more to his genius than just his opening preparation, though that is one of his great strengths. He's like some guy with a massive serve: you think, if only I can manage to return it, I'll be there. But then you discover that he can play rallies as well. - Nigel Short Quotes](/pic/img/img.php?text=W1Nob3J0J3MgY2FyZWVyIHdhcyBkb21pbmF0ZWQgYnkgaGlzIHJpdmFscnkgd2l0aCBHYXJyeSBLYXNwYXJvdiwgdGhlIHBsYXllciB3aXRoIHRoZSBoaWdoZXN0IHJhdGluZyBvZiBhbGwgdGltZS4gVGhleSBtZXQgYXMganVuaW9ycywgdGhlbiBhcyBncmFuZG1hc3RlcnMsIGFuZCBmaW5hbGx5IGluIHRoZSAxOTkzIHdvcmxkIGNoYW1waW9uc2hpcC4gS2FzcGFyb3YgY2FtZSBvdXQgb24gdG9wIGluIDE5OTMsIGFzIGhlIHVzdWFsbHkgaGFkLl0gSSBoYWQgaGltIG9uIHRoZSByb3BlcyBpbiBzZXZlcmFsIGdhbWVzLCAuLi4gYnV0IGhlIHdhcyBpbmNyZWRpYmx5IHRlbmFjaW91cy4gSGUgc3VmZmVyZWQgaW4gYSBsb3Qgb2YgdGhlIGdhbWVzLCBidXQgYmVjYXVzZSBvZiBoaXMgcmVzaWxpZW5jZSBJIHdhc24ndCBhYmxlIHRvIHB1dCBoaW0gb3V0LiBJIGRpc2NvdmVyZWQgdGhlcmUgd2FzIG1vcmUgdG8gaGlzIGdlbml1cyB0aGFuIGp1c3QgaGlzIG9wZW5pbmcgcHJlcGFyYXRpb24sIHRob3VnaCB0aGF0IGlzIG9uZSBvZiBoaXMgZ3JlYXQgc3RyZW5ndGhzLiBIZSdzIGxpa2Ugc29tZSBndXkgd2l0aCBhIG1hc3NpdmUgc2VydmU6IHlvdSB0aGluaywgaWYgb25seSBJIGNhbiBtYW5hZ2UgdG8gcmV0dXJuIGl0LCBJJ2xsIGJlIHRoZXJlLiBCdXQgdGhlbiB5b3UgZGlzY292ZXIgdGhhdCBoZSBjYW4gcGxheSByYWxsaWVzIGFzIHdlbGwuIA==&author=ICBOaWdlbCBTaG9ydCAgICA=&num=4 "[Short's career was dominated by his rivalry with Garry Kasparov, the player with the highest rating of all time.
