Nov-18-07  Karpova: Donaldson and Minev give 10.Bxb6 Ra6 11.Bc5 as better for white than the mistake 10.a3?

  Chessical: Rubinstein grinds away to no great effect until finally, at move 45, Lee collapses

<45.a4?> overlooks that the knight on <d5> is needed to protect the <f4> pawn.

The simple <45.Re3> is equal (=).

Pre-war Rubinstein, like Lasker (and now Magnus Carlsen), could keep on finding either the best or a good enough move to grind down opponents from equal positions. Allied to this was the necessary sufficiency of resilence and determination to do so.
