About the Author

Jos+ Raoul Capablanca (1888-1942) was the World Chess Champion from 1921-1927. He is considered by many to be the finest natural players of all time--he lost only one game between 1914 and 1924. A member of the Chess Hall of Fame, he is honored by an annual tournament held in his name in Havana, Cuba, his home country.

From the Inside Flap

J.R. Capablanca was a World Chess Champion and one of the greatest players in chess history, yet he wrote very little about the game. "Chess Fundamentals, though normally for the beginning player, contains valuable insights that will benefit players at all levels of understanding, including masters. Capablanca explains:
-How to obtain and nurture a passed pawn
-How to get and keep the initiative
-Cardinal rules for rook and pawn endings
-How to attack using knight as the main force
-How to cut off enemy pieces
"Chess Fundamentals is one of the jewels of chess literature.
