    • @saswatisarkar.parial

    Great tactics to exchange opponent's light squared bishop and then attacking a weak pawn. I like the most the Rubistein move Kg2 where he protects the bishop with his king, since black has no longer light squared bishop, white's king is safe (fianchetto idea is keeping a bishop to protect castled king).

    @davidgriffiths5902 4 роки тому +1

    The check was easy to spot (as it seems the only move that could possibly delay the A pawn) but the difficulty is seeing the check coming up before commiting to the prior moves. Looking far ahead is like looking down a telescope with ever narrower field of vision. Something moves in periphery and we might not see it...

Before Poland regained independence, during St.Ptetersburg tournament in 1909, he was asked to represent Russia but he refused and used instead the name of the city he lived in. Łódź.
