Alekhine is to receive $2,000. outright, while; the balance will be divided 60% to the winm:!' and 40% to the loser. Twelve years ago- November 28, 1927- · the final moves of a bitterly fought eighty-two move game were played at this same city. With them Alekhine wrested the crown from Capablanca, and with that victory were sown the seeds of bitter rivalry. Never since ha~ Capablanca had an opportunity to retrieve that defeat. At the time, Alekhine's victory was an up~et, for Capablanca and invincibility had come to be regarded as synonymous. But what the mere fact of h'is victory did not convey at once, the saga of Alekhine's exploits during the years of his reign did. His greatness is universally acclaimed. *' * *' When Capablanca ')"on the title at Havana with four wins, he placed more points in Dr. Lasker's debit column than. the genial doctor had ever suffered in any match or tournament. When Alekhine defeated Capablanca at Buenos Aires he shattered a legend of in_ vincibility. Al:BWWER A. ALEKH1NE And at Buenos Aires in 1940?
