{From chessgames.com : Alekhine vs Bogoljubov 1934  Germany  In the years
since the 1929 World Championship Match a new generation of strong players had
just begun to arrive on the scene, including Sammy Reshevsky and Reuben Fine
of the US, Paul Keres of Estonia, Mikhail Botvinnik of the USSR, and Salo
Flohr of Czechoslovakia, as well as Jose Capablanca, who was still trying
unsuccessfully to arrange a return match for the title. Under the
circumstances, the chess world reacted with something less than jubiliation
when it was announced that Alexander Alekhine's next title defense would be
against Efim Bogolubov again. The match was regarded as little more than an
exhibition by all, including Alekhine himself, who said such things as this in
My Best Games of Chess, 1924-1937:    This game - more than any other - proves
how useless from the sporting point of view was the arrangement of this second
match, and at the same time explains my indifferent play on a number of
occasions.1  The match conditions were the best of 30 games, and 6 wins. The
match was over after 26 games.} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 d5 4. e3 e6 (4... Bf5
