Apr-12-22 Kasparov vs Carlsen, 2004 
| |
| Dimitrije Mandic: <gezafan: If Kasparov is the best player of all time then why did he lose a match to Kramnik without winning a single game?> Because that's the tradition if you hold the World Chess Champion title for some 15+ years, it seems. Just look at Emmanuel Lasker! :D But ... |

Feb-27-10 Capablanca vs A Ilyin-Zhenevsky, 1925
