- Ooops. K-K#1 was suspended with Karpov up 5-3 but tiring, and in his
- tournament career RJF won probably just under 50% of his games outright,
- scoring somewhere between 70-75% with draws factored in.

- Btw, does anyone have a comprehensive way of comparing winning percentages,
- % of outright wins, etc., in tournament play among GMs? My sense is that
- 70% is world-champ standard, and that only Fischer, Kasparov, and maybe
- Lasker and Capablanca weigh in at 70-plus.

- Us chess-trivia nerds need a Baseball Encyclopedia equivalent big time.
- Does one exist?
