Capa and AVRO
editThe text underplayed the seriousness of Capa's cerebral infarct (?). Refs show clearly it was more than just high blood pressure.
AVRO was widely advertised as what we now call a candidate's tournament (AVRO was a Dutch radio station). It's worth remembering that FIDE had no say at all in the world title until Alekhine's death, so it's anyone's guess whether Alekhine would have honoured the idea by playing a match against, probably, Keres. The whole concept of "official", in chess, is an entirely post-war concept. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:55, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Tie-break system?
editThe article says: ...with Keres winning on tiebreak by virtue of his 1½-½ score in their individual games", but it also says "... the tiebreak method was the Sonneborn–Berger score." Which is right? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 03:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
