[edit] World Champions by number of title match victories
The table below organises the world champions in order of championship wins, and is current through the World Chess Championship 2012. (For the purpose of this table, a successful defence counts as a win, even if the match was drawn.) The table is made more complicated by the split between the "Classical" and FIDE world titles between 1993 and 2006.Champion | Total | Undisputed | FIDE | Classical | Years as champion | Years as undisputed champion |
