The world championship match between Karpov and Kasparov has
been aborted after 48 games, with Karpov leading Kasparov 5 to 3.
The match will be replayed next September with the same rule 
(the first to reach 6 wins is declared champ) but with a 
limit of 24 games.
If after 24 games the players are tied, the match will continue
one game a time, until one game is won. That is, the first to
win a game after 24 games will be declared champ.
This is the proposal of the International Chess federation,
as reported by news agencies.
