After St. Petersburg (1909), Akiba Rubinstein travelled first to Meran, Italy, to recreate and returned to Berlin, Germany, at the beginning of May to contest a match against Jacques Mieses 1 whom he had beaten decisively in Game Collection: Rubinstein vs. Mieses, Match 1 (1905).

The 10 games match took place in various cities in Germany from May 12 to 27, 1909.

The first 4 games were played in Berlin, the next 3 in Hannover and the last 3 games in Frankfurt (Main).*

Mieses took revenge for 1905 by winning the first three games. But Rubinstein recovered from that disastrous start winning the next game. After a draw in round 5, Rubinstein won three consecutive games and, after another draw in round 9, the last game.

            1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 
Rubinstein  0 0 0 1 = 1 1 1 =  1  6.0
Mieses      1 1 1 0 = 0 0 0 =  0  4.0
