		After all, Short and Fischer are the only non- Russians to play in the finals of the World Chess Championship since 1948, and both were child prodigies who grew up to challenge the established order of the chess world.
		Short is happily married to a Greek psychologist, Rae Karageorgiou, and finds time, even during tournaments, to play with toy trains with his two-year-old daughter, Kiveli.
		In 1988, after Short was defeated by fellow Briton Jonathan Speelman in a preliminary round of the world championship, his ranking plunged to 18th, but he picked himself up, hired Czech grandmaster Lubomir Kavalek as his coach and rebuilt his career.

		Short either had an axe to grind or needed some closure to the incident, and saw his opportunity to speak to Kamsky and took it, saying what he needed to say.
		Nigel Short is a has-been who is now forced to scour the globe for obscure tournaments with impressive sounding names in order for him to pretend he still has a real tournament career.

		Short suffers in the comparison merely because they met at different points in their careers.
		Short is much more of a risk-taker, and has a grittier style, and hence perhaps exposes himself more to upsets vs. lower-rated players.

	Chessville - GM Amir Bagheri - Annotated Game: Short-Karpov, WC candidate semi-final Linares, 1992
		It should be remembered that Short needed only a draw to ensure his qualification for the championship match against Garry Kasparov, while Karpov had to win to level the scores and prolong the match into the sudden death rapid-play tie-breaks.
		Although Nigel only needed a draw, the correct psychology in such situations is always to play as ruthlessly as possible for the win.
		When quizzed after the game, Nigel claimed that he would have met 31...Qh6 with the astounding 32.a3 Qxh1+ 33.Ka2 which he assessed as unclear.
