Description:


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.

    A classic by a World Champion.  the explanations are easy to follow - and many basic principles recur in the games you will play.  These concepts will greatly enhance your joy in creative expression as you win more games after reading and understanding (and incorporating into your own style) these principles and techniques.

    Simply a classic. In this book Capa covers the basic and divides it in opening, endgame, and middlegame. Then he comments on 14 of his games and even shows games were he lost. If you are looking to by this book buy this one. Don't by the McKay Chess Library edition by Nick DeFriemann he butchers the Capablanca games by replacing it with some of his own.
