This is Capablanca In The United Kingdom - 1911 - 1920 by Moravian Chess, a carefully researched chess book for historians and serious readers of chess history.
It is the first of a projected two volume series and covers the four visits made by Capablanca to the UK in 1911, 1913, 1919 and 1920. On each visit, Capablanca played simultaneous displays against local enthusiasts. The first two visits were relatively short and exhibitions were confined to London and Birmingham, but in 1919, following his triumph at the Hastings Victory Congress, he went "on tour" and played in 36 displays in English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish cities. In 1920 he played at Bristol and Woolwich as part of a European tour.
Dr Fiala’s research has uncovered 123 of Capablanca’s simultaneous games, many never published in book form before, together with descriptions of the events taken from local newspapers of the time.
