๐Ÿ”น Jose Raul Capablanca
๐Ÿ”นCuban chess master
๐Ÿ”นThird World Champion

๐Ÿ”ฐ Josรฉ Raรบl Capablanca y Graupera was a Cuban chess player who was world chess champion from 1921 to 1927.

๐Ÿ”˜ Full name: Josรฉ Raรบl Capablanca y Graupera
๐Ÿ”˜ Country: Cuba
๐Ÿ”˜ Born: 19 November 1888
Havana, Cuba
๐Ÿ”˜ Died: 8 March 1942 (aged 53)
New York City, New York, U.S.
๐Ÿ”˜ World Champion: 1921โ€“1927

๐Ÿ”ฐ A chess prodigy, Capablanka is considered by many as one of the greatest players of all time, widely renowned for his exceptional endgame skill and speed of play.

Born in Havana, he beat Cuban champion Juan Corzo in a match on 17 November 1901, two days before his thirteenth birthday. His victory over Frank Marshall in a match in 1909 earned him an invitation to the 1911 San Sebastian tournament, which he won ahead of players such as Akiba Rubinstein, Aron Nimzowitsch and Siegbert Tarrasch. Over the next several years, Capablanca had a strong series of tournament results. After several unsuccessful attempts to arrange a match with the then world champion Emanuel Lasker, Capablanca finally won the title from Lasker in 1921. Capablanca was undefeated for eight years from 10 February 1916 to 21 March 1924, a period which included the world championship match with Lasker.

๐Ÿ”ฐ Capablanca lost the title in 1927 to Alexander Alekhine, who had never beaten Capablanca before the match.

Adolf Anderssen vs Carl Mayet, Berlin, 1851. White mates in 5.

The ferociously talented young Iranian team posts an impressive 3:1 victory over higher-rated Belarus - 15-year-old Firouzja finally won a wild & beautiful game!

Another big upset in #BatumiChess2018. Young chess talent Jan-Krzysztof Duda (2739) loses to Portugal's Luis Galego (2441) on board 1
Poland, however, still wins due to the victories on boards 2 and4

An interesting plan in Sicilian Defence, Scheveningen Variation. White clears the way for the c4-pawn and tries to undermine Black's pawn chain with c4-c5.

23.a4!
A strong move that allows a rook lift along the third rank in order to attack the opponent's castle.
23.Rb1 a4 which would prevent the White's idea.
