Dec-04-07  Karpova: This game score appeared in Romanovsky's <Mitlshpil> (my guess is that it's yiddish for "middlegame").

Now there's another game score for the game Rubinstein vs J Goldfarb, 1908 though the players faced each other only once in this tournament.

So it's likely that one of those two games was played by another player against Rubinstein but we don't know who it was.
