In 1988, Anatoly Karpov was no longer 👑 World Chess Champion (having relinquished that title to Garry Kasparov 3 years earlier) but he was still rated #2 in the world and was a major force in world chess. In fact, Karpov enjoyed his greatest tournament successes after losing the title.
The 1988 USSR Chess Championship featured no less than 5 world chess champions, past, present and future: Garry Kasparov, Anatoly Karpov, Vasily Smyslov, Mikhail Tal and Alexander Khalifman (FIDE World Champion). Sadly, Mikhail Tal had to withdraw after one round.
