Description: This is an original first edition from 1921 with rounded corners, not one of the reprints from the 1930's with squared corners. The book was written by José Raúl Capablanca, the world champion from 1921 through 1927. Mikhail Botvinnik, another world champion, called it "the best chess book ever written." In the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit, the heroine Beth goes to her school library on her first day to see if it has any chess books. She finds this book. Very good plus condition and old owners name written in pencil on the End page.
