About this product
 
Chess endings have an immediacy lacking in chess endgame or chess problems; endings are not theoretical or composed, but actual board positions, the point in every game when the superfluous falls away, leaving only the essential. Jose Raul Capablanca (1888-1942) had no need for isolated artistic theory or compositions--he composed and created chess art as he played. All of his genius--intuitive, tactical, strategic, logical--all of his art shines clearest in his endings, as he himself was proud to declare, advising others to study them carefully. "In order to improve your game," he said, " you must study the endgame before anything else; for whereas the endings can be studied and mastered by themselves, the middle game and the opening must be studied in relation to the endgame."

The best way to follow Capablanca's advice is through this--the only book devoted to his great endings, 60 complete games emphasizing the grand 'finale' but annotated throughout. Here then is the essence of Capablanca, analyzed for the instruction of players and the pleasure of chess connoisseurs. Included are indices of openings, themes in the endings and opponents, as well as a bibliography and a record of tournament and match play.

Capablanca: for players, the epitome of the endgame; for readers, a classic chess study.
