🔹 Jose Raul Capablanca
🔹Cuban chess master
🔹Third World Champion

🔰 José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera was a Cuban chess player who was world chess champion from 1921 to 1927.

🔘 Full name: José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera
🔘 Country: Cuba
🔘 Born: 19 November 1888
Havana, Cuba
🔘 Died: 8 March 1942 (aged 53)
New York City, New York, U.S.
🔘 World Champion: 1921–1927

🔰 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.

🔰 Capablanca lost the title in 1927 to Alexander Alekhine, who had never beaten Capablanca before the match.

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
