    Before S is tricky... Could be Z?

    Yup!

    Bovinnik
    Smyslov
    Tal
    Petrosian
    Spassky
    Fischer

    Before B (in reverse order)

    A
    E
    C
    L
    S

    I'd like to add M but it's not official.

    After A passed away the ruling body declared E to be the Champion.
    The Russians objected the following day and it was over turned.

    E would later boast he was WC for a day.

    Between A and B you have N for Nobody or V for Vacant.

    Congrats to Dejection. I had no idea until all the Ks were mentioned.
