From the rear cover
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.
