Capablanca stupol chess with additional Archbishop and Chancellor figures.

Capablanca chess (or Capablanca chess) is a chess variant invented in the 1920s by the world chess champion José Raúl Capablanca. It contains two new figures and is played on a board of 10×8 or 10x10 squares (the variant being offered).

Capablanca believed that in a few decades all games between grandmasters would end in draws, which was the main motivation for creating a more complex version of the game. To make the game more interesting, Capablanca changed the design of the board and introduced two new figures into the game:

- The Archbishop moves like a chaser and a jumper.

- The Chancellor moves like a rook and a jumper.

The new pieces allow the new creation of new strategies and possibilities that change the game of chess by 180 degrees.

The name Capablanca refers to one of the greatest chess players in history, José Raul Capablanca. Buying this set is a tribute to this chess legend, which adds historical value to the set.
