Capablanca's Best Games - Algebraic Edition

Features 100 of Capablanca's great games, originally annotated by Harry Golombek. For this Algebraic Edition, GM John Nunn has corrected Golombek's major errors in analysis, and historical errors in the original 1947 edition were corrected with the help of Edward Winter. Jose Raul Capablanca is generally regarded as the player in chess history with the most natural talent. Champions since have eulogized his phenomenal play, with many of them attributing their development as players to studying his games. Botvinnik said of "You cannot play chess unless you have studied his games." "Capablanca invariably chose the right option, no matter how intricate the position." Capablanca was possibly the greatest player in the entire history of chess." High praise indeed, and this book is an indispensable guide for anyone who wishes to improve their future games by studying the past. Contains 100 of the finest games of Capa's career, with lively, detailed annotations.
