World Chess Championship 1927
Template:Short description Template:Infobox chess match
The 1927 World Chess Championship was played between José Raúl Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine, in Buenos Aires from September 16 to November 29, 1927. Alekhine, a Russian, became a naturalised French citizen during the match (on November 5).[1]
According to the London rules of 1922 proposed by Capablanca, the challenger had to contribute $10,000 ($175,300 in 2023)[2] to be able to challenge the champion. Alekhine was able to raise that money in 1927. Alekhine demanded that Capablanca fulfill this condition in order to play him in a rematch, but Capablanca was never able to come up with that money.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

The first player to win six games would be World Champion.[1] Some sources suggest the match would have been drawn and replayed if it reached a score of 5–5, but it is unclear whether this was the case.[3]
