Nottingham 1936 was a pretty strong tournament, with some crazy games by Botvinnik.

Capablanca with a nice comeback against Botvinnik in 1936 @ Moscow, and with the black pieces!

Game 25 of the 1935 WCC, kinda shows why it's maybe more reasonable to believe that Alekhine was drinking too much during the match.

It's nice to see the spotlight on some of Capablanca's later games, even if his shine got a bit dull.

Seeing Capablanca take his lumps is a bit sad, but man. Lasker! still so good!

I really enjoy the anecdote about Capablanca's sportsmanship towards Lilienthal here at Hastings.

It's impressive how different the match with Bogoljubow was for Alekhine -- you get the feeling he was just tearing Bogo apart for sport. It was no contest.

The final game of the 1927 match features a great endgame by Alekhine.

"That is how I used to play", Capablanca really turned the screws to defend so strong against Alekhine.

Game 21 where Alekhine dismantles Capablanca like this is such a treat.
