Capablanca","description":"In \"The Duel\", Alessandro Bossi and Claudio Brovelli go deep into the lives of\u003cbr\u003ethese two legendary World Champions, who have left their mark in an unforgettable manner on their epoch (the first forty years of the 20th century) and who\u003cbr\u003eremain - in part, due to their very different personalities and relationship with\u003cbr\u003ethe game - inimitable examples for all the chess-playing generations to come.\u003cbr\u003eThe choice to present in parallel the two biographies (in my opinion quite rightly\u003cbr\u003eso), shows clearly and effectively similarities and differences, not only in the style\u003cbr\u003eof play, but also in the approaches to life of the two protagonists.\u003cbr\u003eWith very precise historical descriptions and presenting the events in chronological order, the authors accompany us on a journey alongside the lives of these\u003cbr\u003etwo legends of chess. In this fashion the personalities emerge, in many ways antithetical but equally fascinating: Capablanca, friendly and charming in society, \u003cbr\u003eprecocious, genial and nearly invincible on the chessboard, and Alekhine, who\u003cbr\u003ecombined a wonderful talent with a capacity for work, a competitive attitude and\u003cbr\u003ean energy which was truly enviable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bossi, Brovelli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9464201568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789464201567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thinkers Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Bossi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078933082367,"sku":"9789464201567","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_913576fb-cdc5-4fa0-a603-4474b522bc18.jpg?v=1685478358","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-duel-bossi-9789464201567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
