My Chess Career
by J. R. Capablanca

The 3rd World Chess Champion's own account of his chess career, from the earliest days through the Hastings "Victory Congress" in 1919. Capablanca has divided his development as a chess master into distinct phases, each illustrated by selected games, in which his powers have emerged ever more refined. Here is your chance to sit ringside as the greatest natural talent in chess history prepares for the ultimate fight - two years after My Chess Career was published Capablanca beat Lasker for the world title!

This best-selling chess autobiography has been painstakingly "translated" into interactive ChessBase format. You get 6 hyperlinked text documents containing Capablanca's autobiography, and even a photo of Capablanca himself! Most important, however, are the 35 games chosen and annotated by the great Cuban; deep and lucid commentary that grows more compelling with each reading. And what games they are! - every one an anthology piece. See for yourself why My Chess Career stands among the select few in chess literature.

NOTE: This interactive e-book is in ChessBase .cbv format. Requires ChessBase 6.0 or higher, Fritz, (any ChessBase engine software), or the free ChessBase Reader which can be downloaded at no cost.

System requirements: Minimum: Pentium 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows Vista or Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

Customer Service Beyond Expectation

First of all, the chess set is beautiful. I gave it to my son two Christmases ago and he plays it constantly. He is very proud of it. So...when our dog captured the pawn and chewed it, my son was bummed. I contacted Chess Central and they said that they would work on it. I totally forgot about it and figured I'd never hear back. Today, guess what arrived in the mail? The black pawn! My son actually did a little jig. Thank you, ChessCentral.

This is by far the most impressive chess set I've ever seen!!

Now you have to know up front when buying online I generally look at the three star and lower reviews, so I ordered this set with a lot of skepticism, just sure something was going to be FUBAR,...... Boy was I wrong!! I got the set and carefully un-packed it and was just amazed. It is PERFECT!! Seems that all the every flaw that had been complained about in the three star and less reviews had been addressed by the manufacturer!! So being eager to show it off and being a good ole boy, I invite my buddies over and we all set out on the porch {now that the weather is finally getting nice out} and play from noon until sunset. I enjoy all the compliments this beautiful the set gets, and everyone loves to play on it!!

I've shopped at ChessCentral three times now, and twice I've had questions about a particular product. I don't know much about chess software. Anyway, I was shocked to receive detailed answers later that same day! I mean, who does that? Shipping was fast and well packaged. All in all, a great chess website.
