Whatever players have the most victories and/or best record in the Mammoth Book of Great Chess Games
(2021 version has 145 games) research pending

I just bought that book 2 weeks ago!

Most games and wins is Anand with 12 and 9 respectively. Best % is Alekhine 100
(3-0) Best % minimum 6 games is Kasparov 88.89 (8-1)

Final Conclusion... MORPHY NEVER DIED AND HAS REIGNED AS CHAMPION SINCE BIRTH 😛

Day 6

Nepo and Caruana win.

Radjabov blundered into a draw.

I'm surprised Nepo even wants to win this thing after what happened last time.

He's hoping Carlsen makes good on his threat to abdicate.

He leads by 1.5 points without a loss after 11 rounds. It will be very hard to deny him the tournament win.

Yes, but he was not prepared or even seemingly interested in winning the championship last time. I'm surprised he threw his hat in the ring again.

Nepo now should be a better opponent for Carlsen.
