Today, Nov. 19 is Capablanca's birthday

I just wanted to bring to the attention of the members that today is the birthday of Cuban champion Jose Raul Capablanca. I have my own blog where I write about Cuba and I dedicated a post to chess history and Capablanca! I wanted to share this with the folks here at Chess.com...

I hope you all enjoy!

Thanks for sharing, random question... donde se puede encontrar la mejor Ropa Vieja en DC? 

Thanks for the reminder, such a great player.

Hey kramercito, from what I understand, that might be a trick question! I have heard that the best Cuban eats here in the metropolitan area are all outside DC.I have heard good things about a place called Cubanos in Bethesda. Its certainly not like in Miami, where we have Cuban food joints everywhere, but I have had their ropa vieja and its pretty good.

@dukealba, gracias!  I will try that.  I have visited this place in Burtonsville 
http://www.cubadeayerrestaurant.net/  not bad at all!

@kramercito, oh that's right! I forgot to mention that place, I hear that they are also great! Good to see a fellow Cuban. We are giving all of our fellow chess aficionados a nice guide to DC Cuban cuisine haha....

He was my childhood hero... Happy birthday Capa!
