Capablanca Was Snatched Too Early From The Chess World. With His Death We Have Lost A Great Chess Genius, The Like Of Whom We Will Never See Again.

In My Opinion, A Master Is Morally Obliged To Seize Every Sort Of Opportunity And To Try To Solve The Problems Of The Position Without Fear Of Some Simplifications.

For My Victory Over Capablanca I Am Indebted Primarily To My Superiority In The Field Of Psychology. Capablanca Played, Relying Almost Exclusively On His Rich Intuitive Talent. But For The Chess Struggle Nowadays One Needs A Subtle Knowledge Of Human Nature, An Understanding Of The Opponent's Psychology.
