That's pretty interesting, nilshero:)

So Karpov played the most WC matches - 10.

Kasparov - 8

Anand, Lasker, and Botvinnik are tied - 7

Yes, i always knew karpov is the greatest ;-)

So in wch matches 55% games are drawn and 45% have a result (30% won, 15% lost, pov winner)

Capablanca/Alekhine 1927 was interesting in terms of openings. They played one exchange French, one Queen's Indian, and the other 32 games were all Queen's Gambit Declined.

kasparov is the best
