Learn chess by one of the greatest. 150 remastered images show a few of Capablanca's games as well as beginner's chess using his very own system. Chess Fundamentals was regarded by Mikhail Botvinnik as the best chess book ever written. Capablanca preferred not to present detailed analysis but focused on critical moments in a game. His style of chess was influential in the play of future world champions Bobby Fischer and Anatoly Karpov.
