New Capablanca and Alekhine book in Spanish
Las historias, partidas e intrigas de Capablanca y Alekhine, the new book in Spanish by Luis Fernández Siles, offers a fascinating journey into the intellectual and human rivalry between two titans of the XXᵉ century, José Raúl Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine.
Over 400 richly documented pages, the author paints an accurate historical portrait of the turn of the century, tracing the rise of the two geniuses, their first duel and then the evolution of an unlikely relationship, combining respect, admiration and then growing enmity.
At the heart of the book are dozens of commented chess games, selected to illustrate the key moments of their confrontation on the chessboard. The author examines not only the strategies, but also the psychological tensions, the official negotiations and the off-field intrigues that punctuated their careers.
