Tilburg (Interpolis), 1st November 1991. The 12th-round meeting between @vishy64theking & @Kasparov63. The Indian grandmaster defeated the World Champion in a dramatic game, but it wasn't enough to stop Kasparov from taking 1st place in the event.

Last time someone won 4 games in a row in a World Championship Match was in 1886. First ever Official World Chess Championship Match between Zukertort and Steinitz. In Lasker vs Steinitz 1894, Lasker won 5 in a row! pic.twitter.com/W5hsZHFX1g
