Learn to dominate the chess board like world champion José Raúl Capablanca as you play through his 172 victories with the White pieces

Legends of Chess Series

In the Legends of Chess Series we are covering world champions, uncrowned kings, and other legends of the game. José Raúl Capablanca is a Cuban chess prodigy who was widely renowned for his exceptional endgame skills and smooth play. His endgames were often "winning on arrival" because he obtained an advantage in the middlegame and then employed his famous simplification techniques. Capablanca won the World Title in 1921 after defeating Emmanuel Lasker.

LichessTools

To get the most out of this study you should add the LichessTools browser extension. LichessTools allows you to play through all the games/variations in an interactive lesson chapter (rather than just the single main line). So if you decline to add LiChess Tools then you are only playing 10% of the study. Available here:
