"And that is all. I hope that you enjoyed watching this video. I wish you good luck with your chess, and bye for now. :D" Mato's are the only videos in the world I keep watching all the way to the end when I know what's coming.
Very impressive game by Rubinstein! I remember when Mato first presented games by Rubinstein I was thinking: OK, another good chess player from the past. But after few lectures I realise how good Rubinstein was and how cool his chess style was. He had become my favourite chess player...
Akiba Rubinstein: (b. 1880 Poland. d.1962 Belgium) Polish Jew : 13 years older than Gruenfeld who idolized him, Akiba's family wanted him to be a rabbi but at 16 he found chess & no more rabbi. From 1907 to 1912 Akiba was one of the top players in the world. Akiba #1 1907 Carlsbad & St. Petersburg . 1912 Akiba #1 in 5 consecutive major tournaments. He was 32 years old. A match with Lasker in 1914, long in the making, was cancelled due to onset of WW1. Akiba is widely pegged as the strongest master never to win the world title. Akiba kept playing after the war at world class level but never regained the juggernaut stellar level he dominated before the war. His last hurrah was winning the 1933 Chess Olympiad. Akiba fell into the depths of mental ilness which had been bothering him all along. Just like in the movie A Beautiful Mind. A troubled genius plagued by unseen voices paranoia & hallucinations. Akiba lived to 80 but spent his last 30 years as madman. Much like Nietzsche. In this game the vagaries of the King's Gambit lead to an unstable pawn set up for white on the kingside. But once White's King's knight affixes itself at e5 it remains there for the entire game. This is the highlight of this game. How the Knight stays at e5 until the end when it serves as a blocker so the e pawn can queen. Akiba's life is a treasure. A poignant melancholy melodrama steeped in the mystique of world class chess 2 World Wars & the demons of mental illness.

Another masterpiece. And Rubinstein's game was good too. Thank you Mato.
This is the best example of staying calm and keep thinking about what you should do.
This is a brutal King's Gambit game.
Thanks!
Excellent finish
Amazing attack. WOW.
A bad day of chess is better than any good day at work.

@Ivica Milicevic Audiobooks Well, somebody read it after all. Thank you sir . Your channel is amazing. You have a new subscriber sir. 😊
Surprise king's gambit on Rubinstein's part...a little unusual.
Great game!!!!
The Kings Gambit is probably not sound, but it leads to some brilliant games.
Yes. I don't envision myself using it ever in my life.
@@fernandofuriaesq.6266 I do it for fun, but not if I seriously want to win.
Wat a game Mato stay safe bro
Rubinstein looked much deeper than his opponent thought possible 😂😂😂
That is the catch indeed for every chess player.
Beautiful ❤️
Brilliant
Good
My kind of madness game. You don't count the pawns in this one.
Waah Maato Waah
What great imagination Akiba had
🌹
Why only Rubenstein Games? Want to see more interesting ones from other players
Too good attack
Black's Kight didn't had the time to kick the Rook's butt...Poor Knight!😊
Waaw
