The World Chess Championship 1937 was a rematch between Alexander Alekhine and Max Euwe, held in the Netherlands from October 5 to December 4. Alekhine reclaimed his title with a commanding 15½–9½ victory (+10, −4, =11). This marked the first time a player regained the World Chess Championship title after losing it. Alekhine held the title until his death in 1946, leaving the chess world without a reigning champion for the first time. The title was later restructured under FIDE’s governance, with the next World Chess Championship taking place in 1948.
