Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

An enthralling chess biography of the celebrated player José Raúl Capablanca, documenting his greatest matches to give new insights to his tactical brilliance and incisive playing style.
This important book marks the life and games of a much-celebrated chess legend, and is vital to any chess player's collection. Learn all about José Raúl Capablanca, his rigorous style and conceptual discoveries and how they exist in a modern context, and the moves that made him the best in the world.
Renowned Swedish chess author and chess master Thomas Engqvist plays through the best and most famous games of his chess idol José Raúl Capablanca (1888–1942). Capablanca is widely recognised as one of the greatest chess players of all time, whose reign as unbeaten World Champion from 1921 to 1927 is seen as a vital turning point between the old-fashioned Classical School of chess to the 'Hypermodern' period which is still influential to this day.
With thirteen chapters that deep-dive into some of Capablanca's more famous and influential games, this book contains many illustrative chess boards so you can play through the games yourself, move by move, accompanied by Engqvist's insightful commentary, as well as a selection of photos of Capablanca throughout his career for a more visual insight into his life.
