...championship confrontations in Moscow, can hardly be better theater than the real thing. Last weekend, on the stage of the opulent Tchaikovsky Hall, after two months of acrimony and audacity on and off the board, after jitterily watching his obdurate foe almost come from behind and after being driven all the way to the final game in the series, Gary Kasparov at 22 became the sport's youngest world champion.
