He had to work a lot before he started getting acknowledged as a good player.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-83394222825556506202009-03-11T14:10:00.000-05:002009-03-11T14:10:00.000-05:00Blunder, this series is awesome and this article i...Blunder, this series is awesome and this article is a gem. I have enormous admiration for Capablanca the champion and Capablanca the man. I spent an afternoon once on Edward Winter's website reading all articles relating to Capablanca. Botvinnik said something like Capa was the greatest genius he ever met, and that Capa would need 6 months to learn modern theory and then could come back and dominate in the early 1980s. Reuben Fine said he could almost break even with Alekhine in blitz but Capa blew him away!! What a genius and a gentleman. He married hot actresses too.katarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032591421971431222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-49189395810188348212009-03-11T01:16:00.000-05:002009-03-11T01:16:00.000-05:00Great site excellant post.Look what he did just wi...Great site excellant post.<BR/><BR/>Look what he did just with natural talent,just think what he could have done if he studied as much as Alekhine.<BR/><BR/>He was one of the all time chess greats.<BR/>His games are full of gems.chessxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07963749506692799296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-13006698857053635422009-03-08T16:31:00.000-05:002009-03-08T16:31:00.000-05:00Great stuff BP!!!

But after reading the chess cafe archived articles on teh openings of NY1924, I decided that, true, he probably wasn't in true form in the first four rounds ( drawing to Janowski was a hint) that he did "wake up" after Reti's game in round 5.BlunderPronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316158004635698398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-65026290867791590362009-03-06T05:14:00.000-05:002009-03-06T05:14:00.000-05:00Capablanca was a great player.Btw, nowhere in your...Capablanca was a great player.<BR/><BR/>Btw, nowhere in your post you touch the subject that got Capablanca the title of being a lazy player.
