	The chess games of Jose Raul Capablanca
		Jose Raul Capablanca was born in Havana, Cuba on November 19, 1888.
		I think what Capablanca is trying to say is that in positions where its pretty clear what the move to make is, you should make it (of course as you know you arent walking into a trap or whatever).
		In all examples, Capablanca restrains a backwards b-pawn and plants pawns or pieces on c4, slowly infiltrating the position both vertically and horizontally.

		Shipley ruled that neither Marshall nor Capablanca was the US Champion, and that upon Pillsbury's death, the title had reverted to the last living person to hold it, the retired Jackson Whipps Showalter.

	Capablanca Goes Algebraic by Edward Winter

		In Capablanca v Janowsky, San Sebastian, 1911 two gross annotational errors (confusion of the a- and h-pawns) have been made in Capablanca’s notes to his 52nd and 58th moves.
		Nonetheless, Capablanca’s original texts are followed closely, to the extent that in A Primer of Chess even such slips as the move numbers on pages 128-129 and the year of two Euwe games on page 143 and page 146 have been left untouched.

	Amazon.com: Capablanca's Best Chess Endings: Books: Irving Chernev (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Chernev's genius in his work on Capablanca's endings is that through the selected examples (which invariably contain 3 or 4 pieces per side with several pawns each) and his explanations of them, the average player can see how to orient himself in complex endgames.
		No wonder Capablanca was considered invincible until his match with Alekhine: his ability to again and again badly outplay his peers in the endgame is frightening.
		CAPABLANCA'S BEST CHESS ENDINGS has made me a believer in Capablanca (never a favorite of mine): if he were alive today, he would certainly be Elo 2700+, because he would pound all the 2500s-2600s in the endgame so terribly.

		Capablanca was second behind Lasker at New York 1924, and again ahead of third-placed Alekhine.

		Capablanca's breakup of the fl king's pawn-shelter is instructive, especially in the face of threats to the white king down the g-file.
		Capablanca's sacrifices are unnerving, but if we try to understand the judgement that stands behind the sacrifice -- the trade-off between material value and activity -- we will learn a lot about the dynamics of chess combat.
		Above all, Capablanca's games are about the initiative -- once he has the initiative, he will attack whatever weakness exists to force a resignation.
