  • Check out Ben's Chessable courses here! www.chessable.com/author/BenF... GM Finegold highlights Rubinstein in the "Great Players of the Past" series. Life Master Dave Vest and Ocean are among the audience and give Ben someone to play off of... But where are Caden and Archer? Hmm...I guess they will have to catch the re-runs on this channel! This lecture was recorded on Sept. 14, 2017 at CCSCATL in Roswell, Georgia.

    On the one hand, Dave paid for the class and was entitled to ask questions for the school he was paying for. On the other hand, shhh no talking.

    There are lots of Rubinstein variations in different openings and in fact the g3 variation in this last game vs Capablanca is known as the Rubinstein system and is still main line today against the Tarrasch.

    • @danielgautreau161
      @danielgautreau161 Рік тому +2

      Tarrasch and Nimzovich exchanged many barbs in print. Nimzovich referred to the Rubenstein system against the Tarrasch QGD as "the refutation".

    The five best players never to become world champion, not counting people like Morphy and Anderssen who had no chance, would probably be Rubinstein, Reshevsky, Keres, Korchnoi, and Tarrasch. Honorable Mentions to Schlechter, Bronstein and Leko for drawing a World Championship Match, and to Reuben Fine who thought he *was* world champion and nobody ever told him differently.

  • @SenatorBluto
    @SenatorBluto Рік тому +1

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Rubinstein would have defeated Lasker in a world championship match.
    There was no sloppiness in his games, he played as precisely as he possibly could.

    • @roqsteady5290
      @roqsteady5290 Рік тому +1

      In the decade before the First World War, Rubinstein was probably the strongest player in the world and would probably have defeated anyone . But, unfortunately, after the war he never regained his form because of mental health problems that became increasingly debilitating.

    Hi Ben, I’m a professional pianist and I’m really interested to know how Akiba was related to Arthur? Couldn’t find anything online apart from a lovely photo of the two of them playing a chess game as kids.

    • @baoboumusic
      @baoboumusic 8 місяців тому

      I was curious so I probably did the same searches and found the same as you. I also looked at Edward Winter's Chess Notes, but couldn't find anything there either.
      But maybe Dave has the answers ;)

    • @gicko2338
      @gicko2338 5 місяців тому

      Rubinstein was a really common name. I think people were at one point buying that name because it used mean nobility, but after many people bought it, there were a lot of Rubinsteins. If I remember correctly that was discussed in one of the documentaries on Arthur Rubinstein available on UA-cam. So probably there is no connection between Akiba and Arthur.

  • @danielgautreau161
    @danielgautreau161 Рік тому

    At 6:48 perhaps W intended to pressure the P on d5 with Qd2 and Rd1, but changed his mind. After Qd2, Qe7 / cd5, cd5 / Nxe5?, Nxe5 / Qxd5, Rd8! / Qg5, Bxb4+. Or if Qd2, Qe7 / Rd1, Rd8. Also, at 13:41 if Qxg4 (or Bxh7+, Kxh7 / Qxg4 , Rd2! ), Rxd3 threatens the N on c3 but also threatens Rd2, and if Nb1 (covering d2 ) then Rc2. In the book Rubinstein's Chess Masterpieces, the author Hans Kmoch gives Rxc3 and Rd7 three exclamation marks each, and two for Rh3...... Who beat Immanuel Lasker, Capablanca, and Alekhine the first time he played each of them?

    You missed a joke there - about the Rubinsteins both playing great on both black and white pieces. I assume 'pieces' isn't the word for those French fries on the piano. Go Ben. Yay!

    The problem with this player is that he went insane and spent the last twenty years of his life in an insane asylum.... It is kind of becomes hard to study him as a model of great chess when he went completely nuts. Very sad 😢

    First, if I was going to ever pay someone to teach me chess it would be you Ben, and I’d try my damnedest not to be THAT guy. Him in the back. The one that paid. Second this lecture is almost unwatchable.
