  offramp: This seems to be the only game Rubinstein lost when playing the King's Gambit.
Mar-17-06  Whitehat1963: What happens after 30. Qc4+ (king moves), 31. Qxe2?
Mar-17-06  Karpova: simply 31....Qe2:+ 32.Ke2: Re5:+ and Rc5:
black would be two pawns up (as long as he didn't play 30.Kh8 ;-)).

  Pawn and Two: <Karpova> After 30.Qc4+, Black is forced to play 30...Kh8. Any other move will result in a quick checkmate.

After 30.Qc4+ Kh8 31.e6, a draw will be the likely result.

Jun-17-06  Karpova: i was just giving an answer to <Whitehead1963>'s question but didn't claim that the line he proposed was good.

Of course, 30.Qc4+ Kf8 31.Rf4# but it's all about 31...Qe2:

Jun-17-06  Boomie: 30. ♕c4+ may save the game after all, however you might need the technique of a Rubenstein to pull it off. Deflection moves like 31. ♕e6 are always amusing.

30. ♕c4+ ♔h8

(30...♔f8 31. ♖f4+ ♔e7 32. ♕f7+ ♔d8 33. ♖d4+ ♔c8 34. ♕xe8#)

31. ♕e6 ♖g8

(31...♖f8 32. ♖f4 ♖g8 33. ♕c4 ♕a1+ 34. ♔xe2 ♕xe5+ 35. ♔f1)

32. ♖d2 ♕b1+ 33. ♔xe2 ♕e4+ 34. ♔d1

  Pawn and Two: According to Kagan's notes for this game, Rubinstein lost on time. He had 3 minutes left to make his 30th move. But failing to make this move, he lost on time.

Kagan states that Rubinstein had an easy draw with 30.Qc4+ Kh8 31.e6.

<Boomie> your move of 31.Qe6 may also be good enough for a draw, but Black would still have an advantage. Fritz 9 strongly prefers 31.e6 and finds a continuation that leads to complete equality.

After 30.Qc4+ Kh8 31.e6, Fritz's evaluation is (-.64) (16 ply) and recommended the following continuation: 31...h6 32.Re4 Qb1+ 33.Kxe2.

Fritz's evaluation is now at (-.13) (15 ply) with the recommended continuation of 33...Qh1 34.e7 Qxh2+ 35.Kf3 Qg1.

Fritz'z evaluation is now completly equal (.00) (16 ply). Fritz's recommended move for White is now 36.b4.

Oct-30-06  Whitehat1963: Rubinstein's only loss in the King's Gambit. But wasn't Rubinstein almost exclusively a 1. d4 player?
Oct-30-06  Karpova: <Whitehat1963: But wasn't Rubinstein almost exclusively a 1. d4 player?>

No.
He played 1.d4 much more often than 1.e4 but calling him an almost exclusively 1.d4 player is completely exaggerated.

Oct-30-06  euripides: <Whitehat> Lookng at the databse I think he played 1.d4 at least 90% of the time. When he played 1.e4, it was usually the King's Gambit.
Mar-17-16  SvetlanaBabe: I've noticed that chess masters who have excellent results against Jewish chess players are always celebrated on this site and their games are regularly commented on. Just an observation, you all don't have to explain yourselves. I understand.

Yes--there is an anti-Semitic cabal here at CG. (rolls eyes heavenwards)

Dang, is the above comment pathetic.
