Aug-04-13    Penguincw: It looks like FIDE did hold championship matches before 1948. Aug-04-13    Karpova: More information: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... This was not a FIDE <World> Championship match! Aug-04-13    Penguincw: Yes I know. Bogoljubov didn't challenge Alekhine until the following year and Euwe didn't make it until 1935. Aug-04-13    Karpova: According to page 298 of the 1928 'Neue Wiener Schachzeitung', Bogoljubov challenged Alekhine for a WC match in 1929 directly after winning Bad Kissingen (1928). Aug-04-13    offramp: In 1929 EB was a credible challenger for the title. He had won the very strong Tournament at Moscow in 1925, and had won Bad Kissingen. Also, after the wall Street Crash who would finance an unlimited match against JRC? That match might have lasted 50 games with 48 qgds. NOTE: You need to pick a username and password to post a reply.
