What is the source of Kasparov's hatred of Karpov the man? I know of some
vague political antagonism, but no specifics. Yet it seems that Kasparov
views Karpov with utter contempt. Does anyone have more information?

The last that I recall it isn't as bad as it use to be. I mean they
are not friends but they aren't mortal enemies like they use to be.
It is the same for Korchnoi and Karpov. Korchnoi had hatred for
Karpov too. Time goes by and once in awhile they have been seen
talking. They are not friends either but the hatred seems to have
waned in time. Even though they hated each other they knew each other
very well.
