Some of my books. Capablanca’s games and books cannot fail to help you improve. The biography by Sánchez is exemplary scholarship with many important games lightly annotated. Capablanca’s own Chess Fundamentals, A Primer of Chess, and Last Lectures are among the best books ever written for teaching the most important foundational concepts and positions for the aspiring chess player. Irving Chernev wrote many useful books. Capablanca’s Chess Endings is probably his best. Highly recommended.
