The chess table used during the 1984/1985 world championship match between Karpov and Kasparov was developed in the USSR, with careful consideration of the requirements for professional chess play. On this table, one can observe the same German-made mechanical GARDE clock that was used in the match. Anatoly Karpov and Garry Kasparov played a total of 48 games at this table, with 40 of them ending in a draw.
