Shelby Lyman: On ChessOne of the most endearing chess stories of all time concerns the “debut” of Jose Capablanca, considered by many to have been the greatest player of all.At the time, the four-year-old Jose was watching a game played between his father, a Spanish cavalry officer, and General Lono, commander of La Cabana Fortress. When the game concluded, the young boy suggested a better play to his father who was astonished, bemused and skeptical. The latter emotions quickly subsided when Jose, who had never been shown anything about chess, quickly and correctly set up the pieces.Thereupon father and son sat dcwn and played a complete game. And as legend demands, theprodigy won.So excited was the adultthat he ran out of the fortress with the victor on hisshoulders, and exclaimed tothe crowd that gathered: “Ave Maria! Che Milagro ha ocurrido” (a miracle has happened). “My four-year-old has beaten me inchess!”BLACKdO NO 80 O X 8X NX dX8' * * J7^%□OR QN QB QKB KN KRWHITEOn Chess LoreHint and explanation: White has potential on black squares.
