Capablanca's Endgame Technique by Alex Colovic
The Astonishing Chess Logic of the Third World Champion

Although Jose Raul Capablanca was the World Chess Champion a century ago, his games remain among the most interesting to study. The clear logic and simplicity of his moves inspired other great players such as Mikhail Botvinnik and Bobby Fischer. And the clarity of his play will boost the confidence of any chess student. It all seems so easy when you read the explanations, says a student in a comment on Chessable, so much so that you really believe you can play like Capablanca.

Capablanca's most instructive endgames will help you to understand:

The principle of two weaknesses - the art of creating a second weakness, leaving opponents helpless because they cannot deal with both at the same time.
How to convert an advantage in the endgame, not by brute calculation, but by knowing where best to position your pieces.
Sharpen your intuition in double rook endgames and avoid wasting energy calculating everything and making mistakes.
The key concept of prophylaxis when it comes to trading pieces, a remarkable aspect of all Capablanca's games. You will learn when to trade off unnecessary pieces.
Capablanca's Endgame Technique will help you play with precision at all levels of the game, not just in the endgame. It was Capablanca himself who said, 'To improve your game, you must study the endgame before anything else.'

So many of our friends are in the Olympiad fighting! Some are fighting to give you a fantastic broadcast like
chessbaseindia with Sagar and Amruta and the whole team! Others are playing, others are there as trainers, our own GM Swayams, GM Ivan Salgado and GM Akopian! Others as arbiters, others as volunteers to make this whole ordeal happen!
We hope it was as enjoyable for the people there as it was for us watching from all over the world!
