No i believe that was Alekhine who died while holding the title. Cabablanca lost his title to Tal i think?...
Cabalanca

Capa is one of the best chess players ever :)
capablanca lost his title to alekhine, alekhine died as the worl champion
Yep he sure is. I love how simple his plans were but how effective he was with it just made it look so easy. I will have to study up on his endgames im told he was a true master that phase of the game...

Didn't Alekhine dodge Capablanca for the rest of his life after promising a rematch as a condition of their first match?
Capablanca was world champion from 1921-1927. He lost it to Alekhine. Alekhine lost the championship to Max Euwe in 1935. Then regained it in a return match in 1937. Fron then on, Alekhine held the championship until his death in 1946.

that is correct ......butit worth noting that alekhine didnt allow capablanca to rematch him , during the period after 1927 , by demanding high barriers conditions for the rematch , i believe it was not possible because of thr ressession during that period
wasn't Cabalanca the world champion until he died? if he wasn't can you tell me who was and when?
