May-25-05 | | paladin at large: Rubinstein's problems stem from 14. f5 as much as anything else, don't they? 15. Nf6+ is a clever rejoinder, which activates white's rook and leads to exposure of the black king. |

May-25-05 | | Heavy Metal Thunder: Refuted or not, the king's gambit is never boring! |
|
May-25-05 | | hintza: Refuted? |
|
May-27-05 | | Heavy Metal Thunder: Well, I don't know, but nobody of rank seems to play it nowadays... |

Feb-07-09 | | Banoboy: " Heavy Metal Thunder: Well, I don't know, but nobody of rank seems to play it nowadays..." A quick search at chesslab.com shows quite a few King's Gambits were played by players rated over 2600 in the past few years, including one by Ivanchuk. |

Jun-10-18 | | zanzibar: If this comes from TFS source then Bogo's comments at move 4 are missing. Tsk, tsk, tsk. |

Nov-27-18 | | andrewjsacks: Poor Rubinstein was rarely Rubinstein after the war. |

 | | offramp: Rubinstein as White offered the King's Gambit 39 times. |
|
Nov-27-18 | | andrewjsacks: Rubinstein was, along with Korchnoi and perhaps Keres, the strongest non-WC. And do not forget poor Pillsbury. |

 | | offramp: <andrewjsacks: Rubinstein was, along with Korchnoi and perhaps Keres, the strongest non-WC> Very interesting. I have not heard that opinion expressed before. |

 | | Korora: <28...♘e8 Rubinstein overlooked that he is lost after 28....Qe3+ 29.Kh1 Qh6 30.Rxf6+! Kxf6 31.Qe7+ Kf5 32.Qf7+ Ke4 33.Qc4+!>
"Overlooked"? Bogo's hovercraft was full of eels, methinks. |

What about Short and Timman, and Bronstein!?! How to measure that? It is an opinion indeed. |
|
Nov-27-18 | | Strelets: The cancellation of the Lasker-Rubinstein match in 1914 was a great loss to chess. Just think of the endgames they would've played! |
|
Nov-27-18 | | Nosnibor: It seems that Reti did not start playing the Reti Opening until 1923 onwards and that before this he was more often playing King Pawn openings.So though he was a renowned positional player it was apparent he could play a good tactical game. |
|
Nov-27-18 | | andrewjsacks: <offramp> Thank you. |
|

 | | perfidious: <Nosnibor>, it was no accident that Reti was invited to Abbazia (1912), which featured only King's Gambits. |
