Grandmaster Spotlight: Jose Raul Capablanca - Five Pawns

Statistical ranking systems place Jose Capablanca high among the greatest players of all time. As the third World Champion of chess and a true Grandmaster he was regarded as the Human Chess Machine. As an adult, Capablanca lost only 34 serious games, being undefeated from February 1916 all the way until March 1924 when he lost to Richard Reti. Boris Spassky, World Champion from ‘69 to ‘72, considered Capablanca to be the best player of all time, a bold statement for anyone. Capablanca was known for his light touch on the board and his ability to perceive his next move quickly. One of his biggest strengths was that he had no real school of chess, although that strength has now been coined as a style which reproduced newer Grandmasters such as Bobby Fischer. Capablanca literally wrote the book on Chess.Capablanca
