José Raúl Capablanca excelled in simple positions and endgames, and his positional judgment was outstanding, so much so that most attempts to attack him came to grief without any apparent defensive efforts on his part. But he could play great tactical chess when necessary! The Queen's Gambit is one of the oldest known openings in chess and it is still commonly played today, with Capablanca as one of the opening's greatest exponents.
