1910. Lasker-Schlechter. The first match for the crown ended in a draw. 10 games played over a month!

José Raúl Capablanca, in play v. Edgar Colle in the 1st round at Hastings, 29th December 1930. White won in 39 moves.

@UnityChess

The amazing footage of Capablanca commenting on the Alekhine-Euwe match.

Capablanca- Alekhines play is 20% bluff, Euwes play is clear and straight forward.
Do you agree with Capablanca here?
