{The titanic world championship match in Buenos Aires in 1927 between the two
giants Capablanca and Alekhine did not deserve the lukewarm reception from a
disappointed public and the chess specialists. Too many draws, only one
opening - Queen's Gambit Declined - and the slow development of the games
clouded the great tension that was contained in the games. High-quality
attacks, counter-attacks, hidden defences - many did not appreciate what was
really going on in these games. Before the start of the unlimited match until
six wins, Capablanca was the clear favourite, especially because in case of 5:
5 (draws were not counted) he would retain his title. But after game 21, which
was won by Alekhine in great style, the Russian champion was leading by 4:2.
For the first time in his career Capablanca felt the chilly wind of ultimate
disaster. But the world champion still had the strength to mobilise his unique
natural potential and prevent his opponent from forging ahead. Capablanca was
able to stablise the situation and even take the initiative. In game 27 he
hoped to see the fruits of his desperate efforts.  Der Titanenkampf um die
Weltmeisterschaft in Buenos Aires 1927 zwischen Capablanca und Aljechin hat
die lauwarme Reaktion der enttäuschten Schachexperten nicht verdient. Zu viele
Remisen, nur eine Eröffnung – Angenommenes Damengambit – und der langsame
Aufbau des Spiels hat von der großen Spannung, die in den einzelnen Partien
herrschte, abgelenkt. Hochwertige Angriffe, Gegenschläge und versteckte
Verteidigungen – viele Schachfreunde haben gar nicht erkannt, was in diesem
auf sechs Gewinnpartien angesetzten Wettkampf los war. Capablanca war der
eindeutige Favorit, da dem amtierenden Weltmeister ein 5:5 genügte (Remisen
wurden nicht gezählt). Aber nach der 21. Partie, die von Aljechin in
großartigem Stil gewonnen wurde, führte der russische Meister mit 4:2 Punkten.
Zum ersten Mal in seiner Laufbahn spürte Capablanca den eisigen Wind des
bevorstehenden Zusammenbruchs. Aber der Weltmeister hatte immer noch die Kraft,
sein einmaliges natürliches Talent zu mobilisieren, um dem Gegner den
Durchmarsch zu verwehren. Capablanca konnte die Wettkampfsituation
stabilisieren und sogar die Initiative ergreifen. In der 27. Partie hoffte er
nun, die Früchte seiner verzweifelten Bemühungen zu ernten.} 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6

chances in a technical endgame. Alekhine, on the other hand, did not miss the
chances given to him by Fortune and started the final offensive. His victories
in games 32 and 34 brought him the champion's crown and opened a new era in
the chess chronicles. und Schwarz gewinnt! In den restlichen Wettkampfpartien
übte Capablanca weiterhin Druck auf den Gegner aus und gewann sogar die 29.
Partie in 70 Zügen! Aber ich glaube, die Erinnerung an Partie 27 war sehr
schmerzhaft – der große Kampfgeist war gebrochen. In der 31. Partie hat der
Kubaner ausgezeichnete Chancen in einem technischen Endspiel ausgelassen.
Aljechin hingegen verschmähte keine Gelegenheit, die ihm das Schicksal
einräumte. Er startete einen Schlußangriff, und seine Siege in der 32. und 34.
Partien brachten ihm die Krone. Damit begann ein neues Zeitalter im Schach.})
