The 1921 WorldChessChampionship was played between Jos Ra l Capablanca and Emanuel Lasker . It was played in Capablanca s native Havana from March 18 to April 28. Lasker resigned the title in 1920 in a dispute over match conditions, but agreed to take part as challenger in 1921 partially due to his having lost a lot of money due to the First World War . Results The championship was set to last for 24 games the first player to accumulate 12 points or win eight games would be World Champion. If it ended 12 12 the incumbent would retain the title. Lasker had won the previous championship, but he resigned it in 1920, meaning that technically he was the challenger and Capablanca the incumbent for this match, even though the two had never met in a title match before. class wikitable style text align center WorldChessChampionship Match 1921 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Wins Points align left flagathlete Jos Ra l Capablanca Cuba style background black color white style background black color white 1 style background black color white style background black color white style background black color white 1 1 style background black color white style background black color white 1 4 9 align left flagathlete Emanuel Lasker Germany empire style background black color white style background black color white style background black color white 0 style background black color white style background black color white 0 style background black color white 0 style background black color white 0 0 5 Lasker resigned the match prematurely, making Capablanca the new champion.
