On Saturday 6 September, the first presentation was given by Georges Bertola on the 1911 San Sebastian tournament. This was Capablanca's first tournament in Europe, and he made a big impression.

Georges is a Capablanca specialist, and I also refer you to the first volume of the biography of the brilliant Cuban player:

Capablanca, the prodigious ascent (1888-1920) - by Georges Bertola
