| Nov-23-05 | | Karpova: Great game by Rubinstein!
14...Bf5 is a good reply while 19.Nh4 looks like a waste of time. |
|
| Oct-25-06 | | aw1988: But what to play instead? White on the 19th move looks in a precarious situation... perhaps 19. Nd2 but then Bd6 and Black seems to be  |
|
| Jul-26-07 | | Karpova: According to Kmoch, Spielmann suggested 19.Bd1 with the idea to play Bb3 This looks indeed better than the actual move as the Bb3 will attack black's isolated d-pawn and free the rook from defending b2 |
|
| Jul-26-07 | | RookFile: 14. Bc7 was a mistake. But if Kashdan played it, I think he should have finished what he started: 14. Bc7 Bf5 15. Bxd8 Bxc2 16. Bxe7 Rxe7 17. Ne5 and white should be able to steer this to a draw. |

| Aug-07-09 | | goldenbear: I don't like 17.Ne5 in that line. Maybe 17.Kd2 with the idea of Bd3, White could squeak out a draw. I don't have a computer program so... take that for what it's worth. |

| Aug-07-09 | | whiteshark: It doesn't look like a Friday puzzle after <32.Bg4>, it's more like a Wednesday one. |

| Aug-07-09 | | kellmano: That is the great man in Karpova's avatar is it not? This game bears a slight resemblance to his immortal game in that it starts near symetrical then he wins with black in great style. Good pun by the way. |

| Aug-07-09 | | laskereshevsky: <Rock the Kashdan>..... To enjoy "The Clash"?!....:) |
|
| Aug-07-09 | | laskereshevsky: I immagine Kashdan after the game to saying:...
...Well..."Should I Stay or Should I Go?!,"... |
|
| Aug-07-09 | | SuperPatzer77: <Kellmano> Karpova's actual avatar is Akiba Rubinstein of Poland. We chess folks really love the style Akiba Rubinstein played with Black. <Kellmano> By the way, I'm a Jose Capablanca fan though. SuperPatzer77 |

Rock the cashbox? lol |

| Dec-09-09 | | tommer: The moves that most impressed me were the 13 and 14 of black, a combination that helped black moving from defence to control of the center. Most difficult to predict for me were the 17 and 18 combination, as a beginner in chess (1/2 an year), these are the moves that I am trying to learn. I would have never think myself about Rac8 followed by a6, the strong position as the white queen has no good places to go: a, b and c files are totally controlled by black so it seems. I was thinking about 17..Bd6 or 17..Ne4 instead thinking about trying to force white to protect his bishop. I have a lot to learn. |

| Dec-09-09 | | Marmot PFL: 1931 Olympiad. Despite this game the US wins by a point over 2nd place Poland. Interesting that Reshevsky didn't play for either team (not until Stockholm 1937?) |
|
| Jun-30-12 | | Howard: This game was actually featured in a 1982 issue of Chess Life. Back then, the magazine ran a series of 50-year-anniversary articles. Quite a combination by Rubinstein ! Unfortunately, his professional career was to end soon after this game. |
