He scored multiple victories against the seven world champions who held the title from 1948 to 1985: Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov, Mikhail Tal, Tigran Petrosian, Boris Spassky, Bobby Fischer and Anatoly Karpov but negative life scores against them . In percentage, his best score against the world champion was with Max Euwe. Larsen and Euwe met on a table only once, at the Munich Olympiad in 1958; the game ends with a tie.
