Jan-06-04  David S. Brummer: if 15. Qxe4 how does Black continue, what am I missing?
Jan-06-04  Catfriend: Nothing.. It's absolutely save and makes sense.. but Spielmann prefers to complicate the situation
Jan-06-04  Catfriend: And he's right! White gets a great advantage..

  tamar: A fascinating clash. Rubinstein put immense faith in his two bishops, but would not have been rewarded without the blunder 37 g4? which allowed the black square bishop access to f4.
Feb-15-18  goser: Rubinstein played this game like Spielmann ... against "Rubinstein in irresolute mood".
