Alekhine facing Euwe in 1937
This was the last "Imperial" World Championship where the world champion had control of the title and could set match conditions; Alekhine died in 1946 and FIDE stepped in to take control of the World Championship. This was also the last World Championship to take place before the outbreak of World War II two years later; the tournament would resume in 1948.

The first player to win six games and score more than 15 points would be champion.
