This question was first put forward by Galfer, vice chairman of the Chess Federation, who did a lot of research on it. During the Olympic team competition in Isbul, he discussed with visiting Kasparov. Kasparov believes that if the world champions Khalifman, Ponomarev, Kasymdzhanov and Topalof in the new competition system are included, it will be unfair to the old players in the traditional competition system. Therefore, this study should only include 15 world champions in the traditional competition system. They are: Stanitz, Lasker, Kapablanka, Aleksin, Youwei, Botvinnik, Smilov, Tarr, petrosyan and spassky. Fischer, karpov, Kasparov, kramnik and Anand. So the revised question should be: Who has defeated the above 15 world champions the most times? Several conditions: first, it must be a traditional game system; Second, whether they were world champions at that time; Third, the key is not how many world championships they have won, but how many world championships they have won. Of course, if a chess player is a world champion himself, it can be counted that he has defeated other world champions the most times. What needs to be answered is not only who won the first place in the World Championships, but also who won the second and third place, and so on. This is a prize-winning quiz, and the top three winners will get ChessBase DVDs signed by Kasparov.
The first winner is Hindes of Strasbourg, and his answer is as follows:
The player who beat the world champion the most times and ranked first is Paul Keres. He has defeated nine world champions, namely Kapablanka, Alehin, You Wei, Bot Wienicke, Tal, spassky, Smihs Loff, Petrosin and Fischer.
Kells is an Estonian. He missed the World Chess Championship five times. He won the 1938 AVRO championship and won the right to challenge the then world champion Alehin. However, due to the outbreak of World War II, the World Championship was not held. After the war, he was shortlisted for the candidate competition four times in a row, and nothing was achieved. His nickname is "forever second child" or "chess crown prince", but he is the one who has defeated nine world champions in the history of chess, and this record belongs only to him.
This is a game in which Kelleis defeated Alehin;
