Background
Alekhine had been world champion since his 1927 victory over José Raúl Capablanca.
In 1928, Bogoljubov won a major tournament at Bad Kissingen, ahead of Capablanca and most other leading players of the day except for Alekhine.[1] Following this win, he challenged Alekhine for the world title. There was also an alternative offer of a return match against Capablanca in Bradley Beach, New Jersey, USA.[2]
Under the rules at the time, the champion chose the challenger, and Alekhine chose to play a match against Bogoljubov.
Results
The first player to win six games and score more than 15 points would be champion.
