| Jan-01-03 | | ughaibu: Dus Chotimirsky's claim to fame was that he was the only player to win against Rubinstein at St Petersburg 1909 and in the same tournament the only player other than Rubinstein to win against Lasker. According to Lasker Rubinstein was winning comfortably until miscalculating on (I think) move 15. |

|
| Dec-02-05 | | dr. micha: yes, white was tactically outplayed.probably the middlegame was too chaotic for Akiba. |

| Nov-29-06 | | shalgo: Lasker says that white would "have maintained his extra Pawn" had Rubinstein played 19.Qc4. He also claims that Rubinstein still had a draw with 20.Qa6 Nd4 21.Nxc3 b4 22.e3 (the rest of his line seems garbled in my copy of the tournament book). |

<Here Rubinstein, who is usually a very calm and clear player, makes a mistake in his combination and loses by force. He might have played
20.Qa6 Nd4 21.Nxc3 b4 22.e3 bxc3 23.exd4 (not 23.Rxb8 Qxb8 followed by ...Qb2) 23...Rxb1 (23...Qxd4 24.Rxb8 Rxb8 25.Qc6) 24.Rxb1 (24.dxe5 Rxc1+ 25.Bf1 c2) 24...Qxd4 and might have drawn by 25.Qe2.> Basically, it looks likel a move was left out in the book and there was no clear distinction between the main variation and sub-variations. |

| | Phony Benoni: Augghhhhh! Will I never be able to type an entire post without a typo???? OK, everybody, please imagine the queen on e5 is Black, and don't make me redo the whole thing. |
|
| Jan-20-09 | | ughaibu: We could punish Calli for falling between two stools with "leave. . . go", rather than choosing 'leave' or 'let. . . go'. I've included an inaccuracy, in this post, in case anyone would like to punish me too. |

| Jan-26-09 | | A.G. Argent: <ughaibu> Ok, Mr. Grammar, I may be a chronic patzer when it comes to chess but I know a superfluous, comma when I see, one but, it, is well placed, I must say; right after inaccuracy., |

(there is no time for 20...b4 as 21 Nf4 Qg5 22 Bxc6 wins a piece) 21 Nxe7 Nxe7
