Which top 2775+ player has the record of not losing any game?

Post by Chessqueen »

I would like to know what top 2775+ player has the record without losing any classical games, and what top 2775+ player won the most consecutive straight classical games. I can NOT find the answer anywhere, and I have search with different search engines. It would be interesting to see these two players participating in the next London Chess Classic, I believe it would bring a lot of curious visitors or chess fans.

Have you checked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_w ... s_in_chess ?

There's a lot of weird records there.

I do not understand the question.
You ask about top 2775+ players but it is not clear if the player need to be 2775+ player in all the period or part of the period or maybe not even part of the period(in theory 2775+ player could get many consecutive wins in the time he got progress from 2000 to 2300).

I meat to ask, what current player or Active player who is NOT either retired or dead and is higher than 2750 that is NOT either Mikhail Tal who played a string of 95 tournament games without a loss with 46 wins and 49 draws; or Bobby Fischer who won 20 consecutive games, all in competitions, and at the same time could compete in the Next London Chess Classic. I just found out that GM Ding Liren has the current record among all the active players of NOT losing a single game, since September of last year, and that is how he finally reached over 2800+

People would just go to the London Chess Classic to see who will be the player that will beat GM Ding Liren after such recor of NOT losing a game for almost a year. :shock:

Something to beat: Capablanca was undefeated for eight years from 10 February 1916 to 21 March 1924. One year: a joke!

It could be a Joke, but nowadays with computer analysis and assistance it is equivalent to 10 years or more. and to put it into perspective not even GM Carlsen or GM Caruana has lasted more than three months without one of his closest beating him.

It must be said that Capablanca played relatively far fewer games during that 8 year stretch, which partially spanned WWI, than modern GMs do these days.

In an era where he'd likely face 1-2 serious opponents per tournament (perhaps Rubinstein and Alekhine or something).

Yes, certainly between 1916-20, as there were hardly any big tournaments in those years. There was some tougher opposition for him from 1921 onwards, including the WC match vs Lasker, in which he of course went undefeated.
