Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 2nd Edition. 275+[5 note] pages with diagrams and tables, Quarto (10 1/4" x 7") bound in green cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Second edition. José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera was the third World Champion, reigning from 1921 until 1927. Renowned for the simplicity of his play, his legendary endgame prowess, accuracy, and the speed of his play, he earned the nickname of the "Human Chess Machine". Capablanca's style also heavily influenced the styles of later World Champions Botvinnik, Robert James Fischer and Anatoly Karpov. Botvinnik observed that Alekhine had received much schooling from Capablanca in positional play, before their fight for the world title made them bitter enemies. While not a theoretician as such, he wrote several books including A Primer of Chess, Chess Fundamentals and My Chess Career. Condition: Near fine. Seller Inventory # C2573
