| Mar-28-05 | | Karpova: 14...ng6? (nc6 instead)
15...e5 was also a mistake
brilliant play by rubinstein. |
|
Mar-28-05
 | | Chessical: <Karpova> 14...Nc6, looks no more attractive than Maroczy's move after: <14...Nc6> 15.Nxc6 (15.Bxf6 is also strong) bxc6 16.Ne4 Nxe4 17.Bxe7 Rxe7 18.Qxe4. |
|
| Mar-28-05 | | Karpova: <chessical> i agree with you but why playing nc6 at once?
he could have developped. look at what the ng6 accomplishes during the game - absolutely nothing |
|
| Jul-04-05 | | WMD: <I thought they were magical . . . Fritz points out that 31 Rd8 wins a piece immediately (31...Rf8 32 h5; 31...R7e7 32 Qc6). > Maroczy's 30...Kh8? exacerbating his back rank weakness is a real lemon. |
|
| Sep-25-05 | | Kriegspiel: <WMD: Maroczy's 30...Kh8? exacerbating his back rank weakness is a real lemon.> What would you have recommended? Chernev analyzes (and rejects) 30...Rf7 and 30...Kf8. Kriegspiel

| Sep-25-05 | | Assassinater: < What does Fritz say about 31...Rc8 in response to 31.Rd8 ?> I don't have Fritz, but 32. Rxc8 Rxc8 33. Qd8+ is mate |

Kriegspiel

| Nov-23-05 | | Assassinater: <Who said anything about 32...Rxc8 ?> Um... Okay. What other move is there? The e Rook's hanging (and pinned no less!), and white's already up a rook... |
|
| Dec-13-05 | | ArturoRivera: 14.-...Nc6?? 15.-Nxc6 bxc6 16.-Bf3! and black's pawn structure is ruined, plus, how can black develop now his light square bishop?, the c6 pawn would become a target, and white has a bishop, a rook, and a queen atacking it, 14.-Nc6 sounds ilogical to me. You can not even make a simple develop now such as Bd7 beacause Bxf6 and black's bishop would be hanging. A bad move indeed |

| Mar-12-07 | | Octavia: last game in this great book: "Logical Chess, move by move" by Irving Chernev. |

| Jul-16-07 | | Karpova: <WMD: Maroczy's 30...Kh8? exacerbating his back rank weakness is a real lemon.> 30...Kf8 31.h5 Nh8 32.Rd8 Nf7 33.Rxe8+ Kxe8 34.Qe6+ Kf8 35.h6
30...Rf7 31.Qc6 Qb8 32.h5 Nh8 33.h6 Rc7 (33...gxh6? 34.Rxf6; 33....Ng6 34.hxg7) 34.Qxa6 <Karpova: <chessical> i agree with you but why playing nc6 at once? he could have developped. look at what the ng6 accomplishes during the game - absolutely nothing> Yes, 14...Bd7 or 14...Rd8 would have been better than 14...Ng6? <keypusher: I thought they were magical . . . Fritz points out that 31 Rd8 wins a piece immediately (31...Rf8 32 h5; 31...R7e7 32 Qc6). Sometimes I hate computers.> It's true that 31.Rd8 would have won quicker but this doesn't take anything away from the beaty of the game. Rubinstein didn't blunder with 31.h5 and kept his winning advantage. |

| Jan-08-08 | | Octavia: why not 23 Nxe5 Nxe5 24 Bxe5 ? |

|
| Oct-01-08 | | notyetagm: Just a *stupendous* game by Rubinstein. |
|

 | | Peligroso Patzer: I recently read through the notes for this game in “Rubinstein: Move by Move”, by Zenon Franco, ©2015, Everyman Chess, at pp. 85-94. In the position after 28. … Rc7?:
click for larger view ... Rubinstein played 29. h4, which Franco annotates with “!”. Although the possibility is not mentioned by Franco, it seems to me (and Fritz agrees) that White can snatch a pawn here with 29.Bxe5! because after 29...f6 (if 29...Nxe5 30.Qxe5; or 29...Rce7 30.Bd4 Qc7 31.Qc6) 30.Qd5+ (or 30.Rd8 Rc8 31.Bxf6+–) 30...Rf7 31.Bg3, White escapes the pin with a pawn-plus and control of the d-file. Rubinstein’s conclusion of the attack was brilliant in its overall impression, but after 29. h4, Maróczy could have defended better with 29. … Rce7, and after Rubinstein’s 30. Qd5+ (missing the strongest move, 30. Rd8!), Maróczy again failed to choose the best defense (30. … Kf8!), so, although somewhat prosaic, 29. Bxe5 seems to be objectively the best move after 28. … Rc7?. |

 | | BAJones: A truly beautiful finish of the highest order. However, Rubinstein had previously used his diversionary Bishop sacrifice in a game with Mieses in 1905.In both games, Bh4 had compelled his opponent's resignation. |

| Jul-29-20 | | SeanAzarin: Maroczy Bound |
|
| Jul-30-20 | | Brenin: As <BAJones> wrote, "A truly beautiful finish", or more concisely "Wow" <notyetagm>. To play a finish like that, you must first achieve a commanding position: here control of the d-file, pressure on the e-pawn, more actively placed Q, etc. Logical Chess, indeed. |
|
| Jul-30-20 | | Albion 1959: This game appears in Irving Chernev's book Logical Chess Move By Move (Faber 1958) Game 33 page 237. He gives 12 pages on this one particular game. Chernev makes no comment on black's 20th move Bd7 - Unless I have missed something, why can't black play Bxc3 instead?
Also on move 28 Rc7? Chernev makes no comment on this move, nor does he suggest Qa8 as given byBoglojubow ! The game is without doubt one of Rubinstein's greatest achievements. A well constructed attack, that was not one of those rip-roaring attacks like Morphy or Marshall would have played, but more like quiet and patient aggression. One more thing, Chernev thought highly of this game, but did NOT include it in his 1977 book The Golden Dozen- Curious ? |
|
| Jul-30-20 | | Brenin: It was a hundred years ago today Akiba Rubinstein taught us how to play. He's been going in and out of style, but he's guaranteed to raise a smile. |

So let me introduce to you,
