| | He learned to play chess at age four by watching his father's games, and his rise to the top of the sport was quick. | | | World champion from 1921-1927, he is the only player to have won the world title by defeating the incumbent in a match without losing a game. | | | He only lost 43 games in tournaments and matchs; of course he lost more than that in friendly games when he was a wee one, and occasionally when he was a full pledged master. |

| | Capablanca Goes Algebraic by Edward Winter |
| | 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. | | | Golombek’s Preface to Capablanca’s Hundred Best Games of Chess called him ‘strangely poor at explaining and annotating his own games’, whereas 30 years later, in The Encyclopedia of Chess, the same Golombek wrote that Capablanca was ‘a lucid and excellent writer on chess’. | | | Later that year Chess Stars brought out a two-volume set of Capablanca’s ‘complete’ tournament and match games, with languageless annotations, but an anthology of the kind mentioned in the final paragraph above is still awaited. |

| | As interested as chess players were in such events, the general population, as reflected in contemporary newspaper accounts, were less than enthralled. | | | Such was the case for Capablanca, a player who engaged in a multitude of simultaneous performances. | | | Unless a newspaper at the scene of such an exhibition carried a local chess column, there was a very good chance that even Capablanca’s simultaneous exhibitions would go essentially uncovered, as have so many great exhibitions by practitioners of the game. |
