Dec-19-06 | | InspiredByMorphy: Odd. Black misses mate in one after 45. ...Qd1+?? 45. ...Qf7 would have maintained the advantage. |
|
Jul-15-07 | | Karpova: The mistake was not 45.Qd1+ but 46....Qxd6??
instead 46...Qh5+ 47.Kg1 Qf7 or 47.Rh3 Qg6 would have lead to 0-1 |
|
Nov-30-07 | | Karpova: This game is a real drama:
First, Marshall obtains an opening advantage but Rubinstein goes on defending marvellously - his defense is really superb! - and reaches a draw. Marshall who's known for his fighting spirit (and Rubinstein lead the match 3.5-1.5) avoids the draw and goes for a risky continuation. And then, in time trouble, Rubinstein throws away a winning position and blunders horribly.
In the end, it shouldn't be sufficient for Marshall as the last two games of the match ended in draws. |

Aug-15-22 | | mayankk06: What was the point of 39 Bxf6 ?
Seems like a speculative sacrifice under time pressure, although I doubt they had 40 move time control back then. |
|
Aug-15-22 | | drinkfromthecup: With so many pun entries, the song title does not seem to fit this 1908 game. MissScarlett can explain. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: <What was the point of 39 Bxf6 ? Seems like a speculative sacrifice...> It was a speculative sacrifice, and it worked quite well for white. In fact, after 41...Rd8(?) white could win easily with 42.Qh4! There is no good defense against 43.Rf6 with decisive attack. |

Aug-15-22 | | chester the crooner: The first non-stop transatlantic flight was in 1919. The song was written in 1958. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_...
The song has nothing to do with this game.
Those who read harrylime kibitzing August 11 know this title is a message to a select few power brokers. |

|
Aug-16-22 | | drinkfromthecup: Certainly. When members think Marshall - Rubinstein, we think Frank Sinatra, Chairman of the Board. The next time members hear "Come Fly With Me" some will be reminded of the blunder in Marshall - Rubinstein. |

|
Aug-17-22 | | Rip2632: Good story. It turned out well for Sinatra. “Saloons are not run by the Christian Brotherhood,” Sinatra hedged in later life. They were playing something other than chess. |

|
Aug-28-22 | | stone free or die: <<HMM> Marshall wasn't quite in Rubenstein's league, was he?> Well, over the years 1906-1912 Rubinstein was consistenly about 100 EDO points better. http://www.edochess.ca/top.graphs/g... |
|

 | | perfidious: Long and short of it is that, in the 1920s, Marshall continued to play well, while Rubinstein lost a step after his annus mirabilis of 1912; Marshall considerably closed the gap in their overall mark then. |

Sep-10-22 | | ndg2: I kinda find this EDO graphs fishy: in the period between 1916 and 1924 didn't lose a single game as we know, but his EDO is constantly declining after 1916: http://www.edochess.ca/top.graphs/g.... Is there a built-in degradation of EDO points, in case you don't play or rarely play? |
|

 | | perfidious: <ndg2>, while I have only rarely looked at EDO, there has to be some sort of penalty for inactivity, same as Chessmetrics clearly penalises it. |
