Overview
Capablanca’s Dazzling Debut
The international tournament held in San Sebastian, Spain in 1911 is one of the legendary chess tournaments of all time. Of the top ten players in the world at that time, only Emanuel Lasker was missing; he was getting married.
This remarkable book has all 105 games played, and each one is annotated. Rounds are introduced with an overview of the results and the significance of game. Based on the original work in German by Jacque Mieses, other contemporary sources are also used to give the reader the complete picture and feel of the tournament. And Andy Soltis’s Foreword gives historical depth to the competition and its participants.
San Sebastian 1911 is one of the most influential tournaments in history. It prompted other organizers to try to get the world’s top ten players. It introduced “hospitality” and the financial basis for the careers of professional players. And it firmly established Capablanca’s claim to be a future world champion. – From the Foreword by Andy Soltis
Capa stepped onto the world stage in this powerful event and demonstrated beyond any doubt that he would be someone to be reckoned with. And now you are invited to follow the rise of the young Cuban in his dazzling debut, as he does battle with some of the strongest players of the era. The momentous tournament of San Sebastion 1911 is now available in English, in a fine, hard cover edition.
