{José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera (19 November 1888 - 8 March 1942) was a Cuban
chess player who was world chess champion from 1921 to 1927. One of the
greatest players of all time, he was renowned for his exceptional endgame
skill and speed of play.[1][2] Due to his achievements in the chess world,
mastery over the board and his relatively simple style of play he was
nicknamed the "Human Chess Machine".[3][4] He is widely regarded as the most
naturally talented chess player in history.} 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. d4 b6 3. c4 Bb7 4.

When Sultan Khan first travelled to Europe his English was so rudimentary that
he needed an interpreter. Unable to read or write, he never studied any books
on the game, and he was put into the hands of trainers who were also his
rivals in play. He never mastered openings which, by nature empirical, cannot
be learned by the application of common sense alone. Under these adverse
circumstances, and having known international chess for a mere seven years,
only half of which was spent in Europe, Sultan Khan nevertheless had few peers
in the middlegame, was among the world's best two or three endgame players,
and one of the world's best ten players. This achievement brought admiration
from Capablanca who called him a genius, an accolade he rarely bestowed.} 1-0 â–ºSubscribe for my regular chess videos: http://goo.gl/zpktUK â–ºSupport the channel by donating via PayPal: http://goo.gl/7HJcDq
