 | | Penguincw: I got the first move, but thought it would be more complicated. :) |
|
| Feb-18-14 | | morfishine: <patzer2> A very enjoyable story! The funny thing is, is that maybe Salwe had the last laugh, ending up with a lot more than 'diddly squat'. He didn't even play chess til he was 20 and actually won the All-USSR Championship in 1906 and had other high finishes, finally resigning at age 58. A record worth studying for those who think they are "over the hill" ***** |
|
| Feb-18-14 | | PJs Studio: Salwe's moves weren't the best but I have overlooked many shots in my day. Both for and against. I guess knowledge of how NOT to fall into these weaker positions (that allow the advantaged player to find something like Ng4!) is key. Thoughts? |

I have given up this system because it is not compatible with the actual playing and I now set up the board and just "write" the moves without moving the pieces. It is closer to actual game playing and am seeing slight progress. I find it hard not to write and visualize the board and work the moves in my mind.
I use computer and mainly Chessmaster program when I hit the wall after going through several variations |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: http://www.ajschess.com/lifemastera... My web page on the encounter: Salwe vs Rubinstein, 1903.
(There is a video as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTut....) |
|
| Feb-25-14 | | MarkFinan: Just watched AJ's video, it was alright for him I guess. I'm not familiar with the game but I saw that Ng4 (double exclamation mark!!) immediately.. Still can't believe you insulted kingcrusher though AJ. It's like starting a band and after your first gig calling Sgt Peppers a load of rubbish. Uncalled for mate. |
|
| Feb-25-14 | | Jim Bartle: <It's like starting a band and after your first gig calling Sgt Peppers a load of rubbish> Excellent example. |
|
| Feb-25-14 | | john barleycorn: Another excellent game with 13.Nc3-d1 as the beginning of the end. Salwe vs Rubinstein, 1907 |
|

| | LIFE Master AJ: <JB> An excellent example of a boorish nature, maybe. |
|
| Feb-26-14 | | Jim Bartle: An exaggeration, <AJ>, I admit, now that I think about it. Still, it can be hard to resist but it's not good to be criticizing so-called competition. |
|
| Feb-26-14 | | john barleycorn: How come Kingcrusher videos easily get thousands of views while AJ's hardly hit the hundred mark? |

 | | perfidious: <john b> Baksheesh. Tell you what I'd do with some of that baksheesh-grab a few po' boys and chow down a while. |
|
| Feb-26-14 | | MarkFinan: Mind you.. I guess it's still like me having a barbecue and calling out AJ's burger vanesque videos, lol. I just think that having a go at kingscrushers videos was uncalled for. No wit, sarcasm or signs of humour, just straight up calling him out! I won't say what someone said about my post at KC's earlier, but let's just say that sarcasm and irony are lost on the terminally stupid!? 😃 |

| | LIFE Master AJ: But forgetting about all the silliness, I DO like this game ... Rubinstein is definitely one of my all-time favorite players. |
|
| Feb-27-14 | | MarkFinan: I like Rubinsteins games too, he was one of the first players games I got into this time around. And by that I mean I'd "retired" from playing aged 12 and started again aged 34-35ish. Pure accident how I started looking through his games though because I'd never even heard of him before I joined this site. Also got into Alekhine games the last few months. BTW!!!!!!! I found my old chess teacher, a Mr Stephen Betts yesterday and he'll get my message next week. I've no doubt he'll get in touch and there's a certain irony in that.. I'm giving it all up for a few years again, lol. Takes up way too much time and unlike some.. I'm not delusional, I know ill never be a titled chess player, let alone still think I can make GM when I'm pushing 60 year old! I'll definitely come back to it at some point because I love it, I'll still watch the WCC, but that's about it. |

| | LIFE Master AJ: Here's hoping you do it ... and very soon. |
|
| Feb-27-14 | | JimNorCal: <markfinan>: "one of the first players games I got into this time around" They're great and there is a terrific body of literature too. An older book on Rubinstein is Kmoch. That book rocks! You can get it cheap on eBay if you understand descriptive notation. I remember going over the games and countless times I would be thinking "but what if the opponent played X?" and Kmoch's note would say "if he plays X Rubinstein plays Y". The notes are perfectly pitched for a class player, IMO. Uncanny. |
|
Feb-27-14
| | LIFE Master AJ: <Jim> I agree. (A great book.) |
|

| | LIFE Master AJ: Another good book - along the same lines - is Chernev's books on Capa's endings. I am sure studying books like that is why I became a master. |
