Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-18-07  Karpova: Maroczy is full of praise for Rubinstein in this interesting game.
May-07-09  patzer2: If 22...Bxe4? 23. g3! Qg4 24. f3 is a winning pawn fork.
Jun-11-22  tbontb: Rubinstein as White refutes Vidmar's unsound but dangerous pawn sacrifice by a series of precise defensive moves. After 21.Ba6 White is clearly winning. Once Qs come off, Rubinstein's exemplary technique takes over.
