Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-29-09  Karpova: There's a Simon Rubinstein who was born around 1910 and is a citizen of South Africa. He was a member of the Olympiad team in 1964 but sadly, olimpbase.org is not accesible at the moment.

Aug-04-12  Karpova: On January 23, 1938, Vienna was facing Bratislava and won handily with 15-3 despite of many strong players like Spielmann and Gruenfeld not participating.

Simon Rubinstein with Black won against D. May on board 2. The nice game of the <kleine Rubinstein> (Spielmann) will be submitted to the database.

1. Podhorzer 4.0
2. I. Fuss 3.5
3. Choun 3.0
4. S. Rubinstein 2.5
5. Dr. Kellner 1.5
6. Hauser 0.5
