Alekhine's negotiations for a title match were interrupted by what event?

  • Personal illness

  • Financial Crash

  • World War II

  • Chess Federation dispute

Answer

World War II disrupted Alekhine's negotiations for a title match. The war's impact on global affairs took precedence over sports, leading to a suspension of chess competitions and travel restrictions that hindered the organization of the match. Consequently, Alekhine's pursuit of defending his title was put on hold until after the war's conclusion.
