'''Jose Raul Capablanca''' (1888-1942) is considered one of the top five [[chess]] players of all time. Born in Havana, [[Cuba]], Capablanca was a chess prodigy as a child and reigned as the world champion from 1921 to 1927. From 1916 until 1924, Capablanca was not lose a single chess game in any tournament.<ref>https://www.chess.com/players/jose-raul-capablanca</ref>

His endgame play was legendary, and he was extraordinarily quick in assessing positions and finding the optimal moves, almost like a computer. He authored a classic book on chess entitled ''Chess Fundamentals'', which some consider to the finest book about the game ever written.

He died prematurely at the age of 53, while at the famous Manhattan chess club.
