| | 1921 World Championship Match |
| | Capablanca is, of course, one of the strongest players in the history of the game, who has more legends about him than a politician has no-comments. | | | Capablanca disputed several of Lasker's conditions, including time limit, the stakes, the short playing time, the 30 game limit, and especially the requirement that the Challenger must win by 2 points to win the title. | | | Capablanca and Lasker remained at odds for several years, not speaking to each other, until they kissed and made up (metaphorically speaking, of course) at the closing ceremony of the 1914 Saint Petersburg tournament. |

| | Capablanca was regarded as the most naturally talented chess player anyone had ever seen. | | | Capablanca finished second to Lasker with a score of 13 points to Lasker's 13.5. | | | Beside this, it seemed that Capablanca had selected players for the tournament who had never before beaten him in even one game. |

| | Capablanca won the first game in 94 moves, and drew the second game in 82 moves. | | | It turns out that with a minor correction to the Capablanca setup, the result is an 80-square version of the game that is balanced, harmonious, and contains many themes and tabias already familiar to the modern chess player. | | | A small group of players from Philadelphia were experimenting with 80-square variants, attempting to rediscover Capablanca’s chess. |

| | Chess Archaeology |
| | Such was the case for Capablanca, a player who engaged in a multitude of simultaneous performances. | | | No doubt whoever was looking for Capablanca games originally felt it unnecessary to examine the January 1923 roll of Cleveland Plain Dealer microfilm, as all the games of local “interest” were already accounted for, and weeks had passed by since the December 12, 1922, exhibition had taken place. | | | Typographical errors in the game scores plagued the first columns of the Cleveland Leader’s new “Chess and Checkers” column, and it was not until two weeks later that the correct score of Newcomb’s draw, as well as the draw by W. Greer, were finally given in understandable form to the public. |

| | The games of Capablanca are of interest to all serious players, and the author does a good job of annotating some of the Cuban genius's very best. | | | The drawback to this book for me is the lack of insight into Capablanca's thoughts during (and after) the game - There is no comparison, for example, with "Mikhail Tal: My Life and Games" which gives superb insights into Tal's chess thinking. | | | His games are often virtuoso performances where his accuracy and classical style eclipses his opponents. |
