One of the all-time chess greats, Jos Ra l Capablanca (1888-1942), won his first Cuban title at age 12 against Juan Corzo in 1901 and was undefeated from February 1916 until March 1924. This compilation of 203 games by the famous Cuban champion, nicknamed "the chess machine," is focused on his brilliant imaginative maneuvers and strategies displayed in his lesser matches and exhibitions. Included are consultation games, match and exhibition games, simultaneous games, and simultaneous games with clocks; all 13 games of Capablanca's wins over Corzo; and the European tour games from 1913 to 1914. Capablanca's complete chess record, an index of endgames, players, and chess journals and newspapers from the US, Cuba, France, and Eastern Europe give significant insight into the extraordinary Cuban genius who dazzled the world for almost forty years.

THE ERA OF WIN AT ALL COSTS, WHETHER LEGAL OR ILLEGAL , IS UPON US. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE SLAPP CASE. Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, or SLAPPs, are designed to censor, intimidate and silence critics of the powerful and wealthy by burdening them with aggressive opposing lawyers, heavy legal costs and deeply intrusive - and sometimes illegal - private investigations until they abandon the case. The UK has the unenviable accolade of being the number one destination for such cases. Billionaire oligarchs, often ex-convicts and linked to organised crime, come here to launder their reputations through suing for libel - even when what's been written about them is entirely true. Even worse, more often than not they either win their cases or scare their opponents into self-censorship, in a devastating blow to investigative journalism, media freedom and the public interest. In this timely, insightful and often shocking book, David Hooper, veteran media lawyer, explores how the power of money enables the very wealthy - including Robert Maxwell, Nadhim Zahawi and McDonald's - to crush their critics through SLAPP tactics. From billionaire oligarchs to powerful corporations, from corrupt politicians to super-rich businesspeople, Hooper describes how those with something to hide tried to stop you knowing about it, how their lawyers were willing to help them and - most importantly - what the government urgently needs to do to stop them.

THE ERA OF WIN AT ALL COSTS, WHETHER LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, IS UPON US. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE SLAPP CASE. Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, or SLAPPs, are designed to intimidate and silence critics of the wealthy and powerful by confronting them with aggressive and rapacious lawyers, massive legal costs, private investigators, PR companies and hackers. Billionaire oligarchs, corporations and those with skeletons in the cupboard are laundering their reputations by suing for libel - even when what's been written about them is true. Their money can overwhelm opponents. Worse still, they compel the media into self-censorship - and freedom of speech and the right to information are the victims. In this timely, insightful and often shocking book, veteran media lawyer David Hooper explores how the power of money enables the super-rich to crush their critics through SLAPPs. Fully updated with a new chapter on how Mohamed Al Fayed and his enablers used the law to cover up his horrific campaign of abuse, Buying Silence explains how those with something to hide try to stop you knowing about it, how their lawyers help them do it and - most importantly - what the government urgently needs to do to stop them.
