Index of names

Although Jose Raul Capablanca was the World Chess Champion a century ago, his games remain among the most interesting to study. The clear logic and simplicity of his moves inspired other great players such as Mikhail Botvinnik and Bobby Fischer. And the clarity of his play will boost the confidence of any chess student. It all seems so easy when you read the explanations, says a student in a comment on Chessable, so much so that you really believe you can play like Capablanca.

Capablanca`s most instructive endgames will help you to understand:

The principle of two weaknesses - the art of creating a second weakness, leaving opponents helpless because they cannot deal with both at the same time.
How to convert an advantage in the endgame, not by brute calculation, but by knowing where best to position your pieces.
Sharpen your intuition in double rook endgames and avoid wasting energy calculating everything and making mistakes.
The key concept of prophylaxis when it comes to trading pieces, a remarkable aspect of all Capablanca`s games. You will learn when to trade off unnecessary pieces.
Capablanca`s Endgame Technique will help you play with precision at all levels of the game, not just in the endgame. It was Capablanca himself who said, `To improve your game, you must study the endgame before anything else.`

Reviews
Sean Marsh (CHESS magazine)
“The material is highly pertinent to the club player, with Colovic covering such topics as the principle of two weaknesses, improving the pieces, prophylaxis, and how to deepen your intuition in double rook endgames.”

GM Matthew Sadler (New In Chess magazine)
“I wish I’d had that advice during my playing career after years of unhap¬pily sweating over repetitions! I always felt I should demonstrate my grand¬masterly strength, but only succeeded in making myself nervous! It’s just one example of how Colovic turns these excellent technical games of Capablanca into a valuable learning experience
