Hmmm this so serious there is almost no talk !
If it can help you, this week I am living a Capablanca style of life, going already thrice to bed after 2am. I'm lucky we're still in the opening.
(edit : and I often leave home at 7 am ! and I'm in my thirties !!)

No, I'm still here. I spent some time to think about my last move. I chose not to play the too classical Be7 !
There is a quotation I can't remember well : "Out of 2 roads I always choose the less travelled one". Can someone help me, it's from Whitmann, I believe.

Well, and me who thought it was maybe a new move. You should always what you know best, then ! But I don’t complain as I deem my position as satsifying !
BTW : Capablanca wasn’t the greatest theorician of the world …

From what I have seen of his games I'd sat he was a tremendous natural talent that was a tad lazy.Master of the mini combo
Wasn't he the one that said "Chess is more or less figured out"?
or was that Morphy?

I think it was Morphy who said that. Capablanca talked about every good game ending by a draw. And he also said he learned the game naturally, without working. But I doubt it very much. It was a "pose". He was a natural talent, but I would bet he did look at books some times. You don't go straight to the summit !
