📱 eBook en inglés CHESS FUNDAMENTALS (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

Chess Fundamentals distills the game to governing principles, moving from elementary mates and basic endgames to positional play, pawn structures, and sound openings. Capablanca states rules of conduct—development, coordination, economy—through precise examples and sparing, elegant notes. His prose is lucid and unsentimental, favoring heuristics over rote lines, and his analysis is famed for clean logic. In the early twentieth-century canon, it refines Steinitzs science and softens Tarraschs dogma with pragmatic flexibility. A Cuban prodigy and world champion in 1921, Capablanca was renowned for intuitive clarity and endgame virtuosity. Years of elite practice convinced him that most errors stem from neglect of simple, universal ideas; this book answers that diagnosis by teaching harmony and economy before complexity. Written at his peak and informed by clashes with Lasker and Alekhine, it codifies the practical philosophy behind his seemingly effortless style. Recommended to ambitious novices and seasoned club players alike, Chess Fundamentals offers principles that transfer to every phase of the game. If you prize understanding over memorization, this classic will become a lifelong companion at the board, sharpening judgment with lasting clarity.
