More about the book
Jose Capablanca emerged as a chess prodigy, dominating his first elite tournament in 1911 with a calm and effortless style. He swiftly defeated established grandmasters and claimed the world title in 1921 without losing a game. His remarkable streak continued with victories in prestigious tournaments, including a stunning performance in New York 1927 against top contenders. However, this triumph may have led to overconfidence, resulting in his loss of the world title to Alekhine later that year. Capablanca's legacy remains that of an invincible chess genius.
