In hindsight, I'm almost sympathetic to the authorities. Nobody had talked like this without being punished, but the USSR was supposed to be opening up, so there was doubt at the top what to do with me. They decided to wait on the result of the 2nd match. — PolitiTweet.org

I couldn't be sure I would be allowed to challenge Karpov again. Publicly warring with the Soviet sports authorities could have meant being banned from international play, or worse. But it hoped my profile was high enough and the risk was necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

So winning the 2nd match that started in September 85 was even more vital. Had I lost, I had no doubt they'd have settled the score for my disobedience. But I won the final game to take the title and it was hard for them to do much other than plot for the next three matches! — PolitiTweet.org
