Jose Raul Capablanca vs David Janowski: 1-0
The World's Great Chess Game "Queen & Pawn Game"
San Sebastian, Round 5 (San Sebastian, SPAIN, 27th February 1911)
(D04) Queen Pawn Game: Colle System

#JoseRaulCapablanca (1888-1942) - Capablanca is in my opinion the greatest chess player of all time. He is known for his endgame and positional play. And was nicknamed "The Human Chess Machine" because of his simple style of play. He was World Champion from 1921-27.

In the early spring of 1911, fifteen chess masters were invited to the seaside town of #SanSebastian, Spain to compete in a round robin tournament. Each player was invited based on a previous result. Every participant had won either first or second place in a chess master tournament, or two or more fourth place prizes. The turnout was a veritable who's who of chess mastery: Established masters such as Tarrasch, Frank James Marshall, Carl Schlechter, Geza Maroczy, David Janowski, and Amos Burn, and newer stars like Akiba Rubinstein, Aron Nimzowitsch, and Rudolph Spielmann were all in attendance. The tournament also marked the European debut of Jose Raul Capablanca, who had garnered fame for defeating Marshall in a match. The only noticeable absence was the world champion, Emanuel Lasker. As a result of this method of invitation, this tournament is often considered to be one of the strongest held in chess history. Games were played in the Gran Casino from February 20th to March 17th. The time control for the tournament stipulated that fifteen moves must be played each hour. Initially, Ossip Bernstein had objected to Jacques Mieses, the tournament organizer, about Capablanca's inclusion in the tournament based on one match victory. Capablanca proved himself first by defeating Bernstein in the first round, silencing his protests for the rest of the tournament. He then went on admirably to win clear first in the tournament, taking home the 5000 Franc prize, as well as winning the brilliancy prize. Rubinstein and Dr. Milan Vidmar shared second place behind Capablanca, while Marshall took clear fourth. The tournament was a landmark both in its strength and in heralding the arrival of Capablanca, a superb tournament player with a long career of victories ahead as well as becoming future #WorldChampion.

Dawid Markelowicz Janowski (1868-1927) - #DavidJanowski (often spelled David) was a leading Polish chess master and subsequent French citizen.
