Nigel writes interesting chess articles for the British
paper
The Telegraph. Nigel Short made an incredible comeback this year. He
regained most of the form he had when he got through a
tough
candidates process to earn the right to play Garry Kasparov for the
1993 Chess World Championship. On the road to his championship challenge, Nigel defeated Boris Gelfand, Anatoly
Karpov, and Jan Timman in candidate matches to earn the right to meet Kasparov. Nigel came up short in
an
exciting
1993
world championship match. This past year Nigel climbed above the 2700
rating plateau.
