 Alexander Alekhine vs Jose Raul Capablanca (1927)
Capablanca never lost to Bogoljubov and only lost to Euwe once, late in his career when he was quite ill with hypertension.
Capablanca won against Alekhine at Nottingham, where Alekhine got the advantage out of the opening into the middle game, but was outfoxed by Capablanca in a very complex position, which the onlooking masters afterwards were still unable to fathom.
