The Unknown Capablanca by David Hooper
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, The Unknown Capablanca provides an excellent introduction to one of the all-time greatest chess players, Josü¾Ž–”¼ Raü¾˜–˜¼l Capablanca (1888-1942). From his first Cuban title against Juan Corzo at age twelve (1901) to his triumphant victory over Emanuel Lasker for the World Chess Championship (1921), Capablanca had a playing style characterized by clarity and simplicity. His games are still studied by chess players around the world as models of how to play strategically and positionally.This compilation of 210 games by the famous Cuban champion, nicknamed the chess machine, is focused on the brilliant, imaginative maneuvers and strategies displayed in his lesser matches and exhibitions. Included are consultation games, match and exhibition games, simultaneous games, and simultaneous games with clocks; all thirteen games of Capablanca's wins over Corzo; and European tour games from 1913-14. Capablanca's complete chess record, indexes of players and endgames, and clippings from chess journals and newspapers from the US, Cuba, France, and Eastern Europe give significant insight into the extraordinary chess genius who dazzled the world for almost forty years.
