Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Akiva Rubinstein holds a unique place in chess history as one of the greatest artists to play the game, yet he never had the opportunity to compete for the world championship. This volume focuses on his life from 1882 to 1920, detailing his rise from humble beginnings to becoming Emanuel Lasker's main challenger before World War I. It also explores how the war affected his sensitive nature and influenced his gameplay in the years that followed. This revised and expanded edition presents the most comprehensive account of the early part of Rubinstein's career, featuring nearly 500 games with extensive annotations, some translated from renowned pre-war players like Lasker, Tarrasch, and Schlechter. The authors have added new insights and uncovered intriguing details about Rubinstein's time in Sweden after the war. This re-release of the second edition, originally published in 2006, offers a wealth of crosstables, archival photographs, multiple indexes, and a thorough bibliography, making it an invaluable resource for fans of Rubinstein and chess enthusiasts alike.
