Publisher’s illustrated softcover, format 23 x 15.2 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1924 Leningrad edition marks the first Russian translation of José Raúl Capablanca’s legendary autobiographical work, published just three years after he ascended the throne as the third World Chess Champion. Released during the early Soviet \"chess fever,\" this book played a pivotal role in shaping the analytical style of the nascent Soviet chess school. Capablanca, often called the \"chess machine\" for his seemingly effortless and error-free play, narrates his meteoric rise from a child prodigy in Havana to the pinnacle of the chess world.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is far more than a memoir; it is a profound instructional manual. Capablanca selected 35 of his most significant games, spanning from his 1901 match against Juan Corzo to his 1919 victory at Hastings. Each game is accompanied by his lucid, crystal-clear annotations, focusing on general principles and logical maneuvering rather than exhausting tactical variations. This \"intuitive\" approach made his games accessible to players of all levels and remains a model for chess literature.\u003cbr\u003eTranslated by the notable chess writer Viktor Neyshtadt, this edition captures the refined voice of the champion. The book’s publication in 1924 coincided with Capablanca's visit to the Moscow International Tournament, making it a timely artifact of a period when chess was becoming a national obsession in the USSR. Featuring the original illustrated softcover, this first edition is a cornerstone for any serious chess library, representing the golden age of classical chess and the dawn of the Soviet era's dominance in the sport.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963246411818,"sku":"EB-306526798675","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_d27a1692-87c3-4ff8-b5c9-ca68f544e2f5.jpg?v=1768163207","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/%d0%ba%d0%b0%d0%bf%d0%b0%d0%b1%d0%bb%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%ba%d0%b0-%d0%bc%d0%be%d1%8f-%d1%88%d0%b0%d1%85%d0%bc%d0%b0%d1%82%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%8f-%d0%ba%d0%b0%d1%80%d1%8c%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b0-1924-capablanca-my-chess-career-1st-ed-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
