Capablanca has heaped enormous praise on this game, calling it "amonument of magnificent precision." A quintessential game ofRubinstein.
Beautiful game two of my favorites duking it out. I love the poisonous nature of Rubinstein in such simplified positions. He never ceases to amaze me.
Now it is up but is listed twice -
Something is wrong with the PGN viewer I will attempt to post agian - I can only see it via Mozilla Firefox as a browser. I will also report to chess.com
Can you somehow post the game or give us a link on the internet to see it?
Allternatively you can tell us against who Rubeinstein played and if he was playing white or black, I may be able to find it.
What I have found is Rubeinstein game against Carl Schlechter where he played white , here is a link to the game:
San Sebastian 1912 · Queen's Gambit Declined: Semi-Tarrasch Defense. Exchange Variation (D41) · 1-0
Just confirm or deny.
Then we can all play this game on the site above and appreciate it, it is indeed a unique play by white.
i can't see the game, nor any move list for it...
From time to time chess.com has trouble but I also have switched to Firefox as my internet browser and I am told that CTRL + R sometimes works as well
I read neither this game (in my laptop) nor the one about the rook ending!...
Anyway "Rubin" was a Great Master in the theory of openings too (his most well-known contributions are the deepest Rubinstein variation against the Nimzo-indian Defense and the Rubinstein variation against the Tarrasch Defense, ask Kasparov and Karpov too! There are many more variations due to him...) but especially a middle-game strategist and fighter.
I wonder what is more regrettable, the lack of a great book about Rubinstein's masterpieces or the lack of another great book about Capablanca's losses?!? Generally (the most times namely) it was an incredible achievement for somebody, even Lasker and Alekhine, to defeat Capablanca...... When I study these very games, I am "scared to death"...
