My Chess Career: Masterpieces by the Master of Chess (Hardinge Simpole chess classics)

The seminal work of the Cuban genius who repeated the exploits of Morphy suddenly bursting onto the European scene and annihilating the great masters who had hitherto dominated the international arena. This book captures the magic of Capablancas early victory at San Sebastian 1911 and his second place - bowing only to Lasker - at St Petersburg 1914. All in all 35 games are annotated by Capablanca in person with remarkable objectivity - bestowing praise and hurling criticism as and when required.
