The title should be world chess championships won by countries. E.g. India and Norway have only one world chess champion (Carlsen and Anand) and they have won/defended their title 5 times each.

Aussies cannot win at chess because they always spill beer on the board.

I expected a lot more countries, particularly from central and eastern Europe or the Middle East, so I looked at the Wikipedia page and am now even more confused about how it works. Sometimes, a tournament is every year, then every two, it’s like they just make it up as they go.

Representing historical data on a map with current borders is never a good idea.
