WCC 1927 title

In the year 1927, the great non-studying Chess genius Jose R. Capablanca lost his world championship title to the ever-studying Chess genius Dr. Alexander Alekhine. With a record breaking 25 draws, Alekhine won 18.5 - 15.5. It was the longest world championship match in the history of Chess.  Although Capablanca was obviously the entitled challenger to the world championship, Alekhine refused to play against him again and instead played Efim Bogoljubov and Max Euwe for the world title.
