Along the same lines, how come Tal only had it for one year, then?

As did Smyslov.

Which is rather sad: Smyslov was the strongest player in 50's. He won
two extremely strong candidates tournaments. Not to mention that he
playes very, very beautifylly.

The defeated champion had the right to a return match until the
1960s. Petrosian was the first not to have that right.

Karpov had that right too for some time.
