4THE SPLIT
On February 26th 1993 Kasparov and Short announced the creation of the PCA and refused to play under the jurisdiction of FIDE. As a result FIDE stripped Kasparov of his title on March 23rd. On March 31st Karpov and Timman (who were eliminated by Short in qualification matches) confirmed that they will play for the FIDE title. On May 16th 1993 FIDE went one step further and dropped both Short and Kasparov from the FIDE rating list.
Both matches started on September 6th 1993.
