I just checked my database. And there is a player with the last name "Bye" who has over 6000 games in the database! That's even more then Kortsjnoi.
But he lost almost all of his games! He has scored a few draws against strong grandmaster though. I think that he's drunk or something most of the times but sometimes is sober and then draws.
Who is this mysterious bye? I have heard claims that he is even immortal! A dubious claim, but the main is atleast 100 years old at the moment and still seems to be in the same playing condition as when he first appeared.
It surprises me that there aren't more annotated games of him. His games are a bit boring though.
