Well, at least Short got one draw (EDIT: and one win, see below). Given Short's results in the 50+ league, it's scary to think how GK would dominate it.
Oops, the posted PGN is wrong for Game 3, it says 1-0 when it should be 0-1.
I remember back in 2009, when the 25th anniversary of K-K I was going on, GK made the comment that if a revival match was the biggest news in chess (which it was at the time), there was something certainly wrong. Of course, Short is not Karpov, but fortunately(!) this match is overshadowed by other chess happenings.

Short had one win and a draw. The win was on time in game 3.
