Summary: capablanca's good....
Comment: The guy is grand, but I only gave 4 stars not 5 stars because this version is a shortened version which contains little writing by Capablanca. The book mostly consists of steps taken in different games. Personally, I like to be able to feel an author's style in his book. I would prefer it if there's a version whereby Capablanca takes time to explain his thoughts of chess.

Summary: Great book, by the greatest!!!!!
Comment: Solid info is contained in this book. but like the title says its a primer. From the material contained in the book i think it would benefit the beginer to someone rated around 1300.
if you dont have a book on chess this would be a great first book!! its definetely comparable to silman's HOW TO REASSESS YOUERE CHESS. though the content is more in silman's book. its mostly rules about how to think like him. and capablanca tries to help you develop youre own style.
i know people put this book down because its in descriptive notation, but it has a small section in the begining that shows you how to read it. Plus youll be able to buy other great books that are descriptive too! like botvitnik and alehkhine's books.
why not study with the greatest? i know people devate alot about who is the greatest. But he was in an era where he played against some of the best ever! like alehkhine, lasker, Nimzowich, tarrasch, and more. if youre a beginer theyre is no reason you should not have this book!

Summary: I had hoped for algebraic notation
Comment: It is difficult to share the insights with my daughter. She has only learned the algebraic notation. Each of the other books we purchased have been translated into this format and it is much better for learning!
