Editing Alexander Alekhine (section)

===Rematch offered, never finalized===
Immediately after winning the match, Alekhine announced that he was willing to give Capablanca a return match, on the same terms that Capablanca had required as champion: the challenger must provide a stake of US$10,000, of which more than half would go to the defending champion even if he was defeated.<ref name="WinterCapablancaVsAlekhine1927"/> Negotiations dragged on for several years, often breaking down when agreement seemed in sight. Their relationship became bitter, and Alekhine demanded much higher appearance fees for tournaments in which Capablanca also played.<ref name="Fine1952WorldsGreatChessGames"/> The rematch never took place. After Capablanca's death in 1942, Alekhine wrote that Capablanca's demand for a $10,000 stake had been an attempt to avoid challenges.<ref name="AlekhineTribToCapa"/>
