Kasparov became the youngest-ever undisputed world champion in 1985 at age 22 by defeating then-champion Anatoly Karpov. He defended the title against Karpov three times, in 1986, 1987 and 1990. Kasparov held the official FIDE world title until 1993, when a dispute with FIDE led him to set up a rival organisation, the Professional Chess Association. In 1997, he became the first world champion to lose a match to a computer under standard time controls when he was defeated by the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue in a highly publicised match. He continued to hold the "Classical" world title until his defeat by Vladimir Kramnik in 2000. Despite losing the PCA title, he continued winning tournaments and was the world's highest-rated player at the time of his official retirement. Kasparov coached Carlsen in 2009–10, during which time Carlsen rose to world no. 1. Kasparov stood unsuccessfully for FIDE president in 2013–2014.The most expensive item with a signature of Garry Kasparov (Rare Garry Kasparov on Garry Kasparov Vol 1-3 Signed (3rd Book Autographed)) was sold in July 2021 for £249.99 while the cheapest item (SIGNED Garry kasparov With Donald Trelford, Unlimited Challenge 1990) found a new owner for £1.50 in January 2020.
