I had a thought recently that it would be nice to know which GM's have the
most miniatures against other Master to GM strength players.

Had anyone seen any books or websites that may be devoted to this type of
info?

If you include victories against masters, and if you define
"GMs" to include top players who preceded this title, it
comes down to playing activity and style. A comparison
of *percentage* of minis might put Paul Morphy at or near
the top, while a simple tally might place frequent simul-
givers well ahead. OTOH, if you wish to be very strict and
exclude non-GMs and victories against mere masters, it
boils down to something closer to overwhelming strength,
in combination with activity and still the matter of an
aggressive playing style factors in.

My best guess is that Fritz comes out on top, though
99% of the GMs and masters will never mention their
embarrassingly quick losses, which by and large,
happened in private. ;D
