Aug-17-06		nasmichael: I played through this game yesterday from <<Akiba Rubinstein: The Later Years>> by IM John Donaldson and IM Nikolay Minev. What a beautiful way to end the game--Gruenfeld (sorry, no umlaut in this mode) tried to close off the terrain and keep it closed. The tossing away of tempi by the rook moves in the later half of the game allowed Our Akiba to reposition his pieces and pry open the pearl from the shell.

Jan-06-11		johnallengay: The lesson from this game: drawing by repetition requires the participation of both players, no matter how hard one of them tries.
