CAPABLANCA (1888-1942) Capablanca was the possessor of a virtually perfect technical style, but he was lazy, and had a degree of self-satisfaction which made him incline towards superficiality. He had little patience, and was seldom in the mood for hard work. Nevertheless, there was real inspiration in his ability to forsee possible danger, and in the way he could nip it in the bud long before it could amount to anything serious. As might be expected of such a superb technician, he had a particularly fine feeling for liquidation. All things considered, his was a style which tended more to defence than aggression. Capablanca had no faith in principles, but only in good moves. Since he usually steered clear of trenchant lines of play he developed primarily into a specialist in the playing of simple positions} 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 d5 4. Bg5 Nbd7 5. e3 Be7 6. Nf3 O-O 7.
