Comments.Text: why.. why is this a "bad" question so you have to downvote it..? explain downvotes instead of downvoting only. there's literally no difference of the quality of a post,  if you downvote without epxlaining, or not downvoting. i.e nothing is gained.

Comments.Text: @WilliamMartens Downvotes serve an important purpose on SE even if they do not come with comments: they help filter out the best and worse questions and answers. There is no obligation to explain one's downvotes, and sometimes it is better not to do so because it would lead to pointless fights in the comment threads. [Note: I did not downvote this question.]

Comments.Text: @FedericoPoloni Yes; thanks for the explanation! I just think especially for people who has no points or rep, just leaving a downvote is not the right thing; (without any explanation) because, it can also lead to others  "looking down" on it "oh it's downvoted, maybe I should too, since it's bad (somehow)) it can also lead to unfair views. Note I do not say this to be picky, and I know you weren't the one that downvoted(hence why I also upvoted) because I think this is a good question. :)

Comments.Text: +1 By the way, thanks for responding and yes I agree they are of course helpful, as is the upvote. But, I would say downvotes is not always the way to go, if it's bad, if the user has no points; no reason to Only downvote. really advised is to give explanation, even if it's not "a must". it does pop up "care to elaborate why?"(I  hope such a popup comes up)

Title: Classical world championship where someone lost 3 games in a row, COUNTING draws?
ThreadText: # Classical world championship where someone lost 3 games in a row, COUNTING draws?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2023-02-12)
  
  Obviously NOT counting draws there are a lot eg Nepo lost 4-0 total to Magnus in the 2021 WCC so removing the draws, there's that.
  
  In the 2019 WFRCC, which was [indeed classical](https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/41499/why-was-the-2019-wfrcc-called-slow-rapid-when-its-actually-classical-4515-6), Magnus Carlsen lost to Wesley So [in 3 classical games in a row, COUNTING draws](https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/41508/when-was-the-last-time-magnus-carlsen-lost-3-classical-games-in-a-row-besides-to): Draw and then 3 losses (and then fast rapid which was draw and then 1 loss).
  
  Did this ever happen in regular classical chess (that are [1v1 tournaments](https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/41483/why-didnt-wesley-so-get-full-championship-privilege-in-the-2022-wfrcc-unlike-ma) but including finals or tiebreakers of tournaments that aren't 1v1) - 3 losses in a row?
  
  Let's see...
  
  1. 2006-2021 - None.
  2. FIDE: 1993-2004 - Oh just 2 Alexei Shirov vs Vishy Anand in 2000 **[but was it classical time controls](https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/41614/was-the-alexei-shirov-vs-vishy-anand-match-of-the-finals-of-the-2000-fide-wc-in)?** And there's Anatoly Karpov vs Gata Kamsky in 1993 - ok so **WFRCC 2019 was the 1st time since either 2000 or 1993 that someone lost 3 classical games in a row in either WCC or WFRCC.**
  3. [Classical (PCA world championship i mean](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_Chess_Association)) : 1993-2004 - None.
  
  And then before 1993...
