Correct!
Oh, I can't believe I didn't see this one before!
XIII is Lasker of course!

Yes!
Only IX is unsolved.
And IX is Max Euwe.
The odd man out is Short because he's never been World Champion. :[
EDIT - wait, Nimzowitsch hasn't been WC either. Hmm.
Is the common thread all have been World Champion or played for the title
of World Champion?
IX is Euwe indeed, but Short is not the odd one out. Korchnoi too was never a World Champion.

Yes, this is the common thread...
So the answer is Aron Nimzovich.
