   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Petersburg_1914_chess...

   Capablanca, intent on avoiding complications, played too passively and was routed by Lasker. [10] In the following round, a shaken Capablanca lost as White from a superior position against Tarrasch. This allowed Lasker (who scored a remarkable 7/8) to overtake Capablanca, winning the tournament by a half point. [14] [15] [16]

3. Aron Nimzowitsch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aron_Nimzowitsch

   Nimzowitsch never developed a knack for match play, though; his best match success was a draw with Alekhine, but the match consisted of only two games and took place in 1914, thirteen years before Alekhine became world champion. Nimzowitsch never beat Capablanca (+0−5=6), but fared better against Alekhine (+3−9=9).

   Both of Spielmann's wins came shortly after Alekhine dethroned Capablanca as World Champion in 1927: at Bad Kissingen 1928 and Karlsbad 1929. The latter tournament is generally regarded as his best tournament result, as he scored 14½ out of 21, tied for second with Capablanca, a half point behind Aron Nimzowitsch. Here is one of Spielmann's wins:

6. Friedrich Sämisch - Wikipedia

   Perhaps his most famous game is his loss to Nimzowitsch at Copenhagen 1923 in the Immortal Zugzwang Game. He also played many beautiful games though, one of them being his win against Grünfeld at Karlovy Vary 1929, which won a brilliancy prize. In the same tournament he also won against José Raúl Capablanca. The former world champion lost a ...

   José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera (19 November 1888 – 8 March 1942) was a Cuban chess player who was the third world chess champion from 1921 to 1927. A chess prodigy, he is widely renowned for his exceptional endgame skill and speed of play.

8. Nimzo-Indian Defence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimzo-Indian_Defence

   The Nimzo-Indian is a highly respected defence to 1.d4, is played at all levels and has been played by every world champion since Capablanca. White often plays 3.g3 or 3.Nf3 to avoid the Nimzo-Indian, allowing them to meet 3.Nf3 Bb4+ (the Bogo-Indian Defence) with 4.Bd2 or 4.Nbd2, rather than 4.Nc3.

   Teichmann had an almost even score against Alexander Alekhine overall (+3–4=4), drawing a match in 1921 (+2–2=2) when Alekhine was regarded as a world title challenger to José Raúl Capablanca. He even won as Black against Alekhine in this match at Berlin 1921:
