Seller's Description:
Very good+ Octavo. 239pp. Pictorial covers. Light wear to one corner, otherwise a fine, unmarked copy. Undoubtedly one of the strongest players the games has ever seen, the Cuban master José Raul Capablanca (1888-1942) was renowned for his lightning-quick chess comprehension, faultless judgment, and nearly unrivaled endgame skill, qualities which enabled him to win and retain the World Championship from 1921 to 1927. His remarkable talent is evident in this superbly annotated treasury of 113 of his greatest games, regarded as one of the classics of chess literature. Although he claimed to have learned more from his losses than his victories, Capablanca was seldom in a position to benefit from defeat. In a career that spanned over 40 years, he lost only 36 serious games.
