In case you want to do so, you should not miss out our 3 best chess endgame books. Lush and OrganizedĪdditionally, the writing is lush, nicely organized with all of the simpler concepts properly introduced, then promptly recalled and revisited during the later phases of the game (and the book.)Ĭapablanca’s most important advice is that the road towards improving one’s game is not by studying or memorizing opening lines, but taking the time to learn the endgame. The reader has the secrets present in the mind of chess masters revealed to him, in a tone sincere and reflective. The commentary of Capablanca doesn’t just focus on what moves he made and why he did, but also fleshes out the process of thinking up any and all viable answers to the task at hand. This is where it differs a lot, and we are thankful for this difference, from other books where everything is either overly explained, overflowing with footnotes, or is just breezed through. Straight to the PointĪny of the commentary by Capablanca is straight to the point, nothing is superfluous and everything is superbly insightful. To learn more about this wonderful book, take a look at our Chess Fundamentals review. One of the most adored aspects of this book is the thought process of Capablanca, that is exquisitely and in a fashion that is markedly fascinating explained. To this day, and maybe even because of the long period in time during which the book has been read and put to use, it stands as a classic of chess writing that anyone ought to take up.
