After losing the world championship to Alekhine, Capablanca went to Paris and frequently sat at a curbside cafe sipping coffe and reading a newspaper. One day a gentleman approached Capablanca and motioned to the chess board on the table and asked for a game. After folding His newspaper and placing the board between both Men, Capablanca pocketed His queen and told the gentleman "Your move". A bit angry, the Man gave Capablanca a scornful look and replied "You don't know Me! I might beat You! Gently smiling at the stranger, Capablanca replied "Sir. If You could beat Me, I would know You".
