Capablanca Chess is a variation on the game of chess that exists in several versions played on a board of either 10x10 or 10x8 squares.
Capablanca proposed two opening setups for Capablanca's chess; in one opening setup, he proposed that the archbishop piece be placed between the bishop and the queen, and that the chancellor piece be placed between the king and the king's bishop.
Capablanca subsequently revised the opening setup so that the archbishop was between the queen's knight and bishop, and the chancellor was between the king's knight and bishop.

In the words of a chess-playing classmate, Cuban-born Jose Capablanca never “learnt to learn.” There was no necessity for him to do so, given his talent; but this failing also circumscribed the limits of his achievements, which were confined within that vast natural genius that was never extended by unremitting intellectual labor.
The salient characteristic of Capablanca’s chess results, more pronounced even than his numerous first prizes in tournaments, was the near absence of defeat.
Capablanca burst on the world chess scene in 1909 as an unknown who utterly demolished Frank Marshall, +8 -1 =14, in a stakes match.

 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.

 Book Reviews
David MacEnulty, a schoolteacher and chess coach in New York City, has written a series of books aimed at helping scholastic players become fundamentally sound in their first forays into competitive chess.
MacEnulty acknowledges that chess terminology is sometimes slippery, and that some authors use terms such as “decoy” or “deflection” in different ways.
The Chess Kid’s Book of the King and Pawn Endgame is also perfectly suited for scholastic players with some experience, but by virtue of its content it even transcends that relatively narrow audience and is suitable for stronger players as a refresher course for the basics of KandP endings.

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.
