19... Bb6+ |
The bishop merely sidesteps the tackle and on to another long diagonal giving check to the king- the first move in a magnificent combo. | ||||

The safety of whites kingis clearly the most criticlal element at the moment. 21. Qxg4 Rxd3 is clearly better for black. | ||||

Rotlevi tries to exchange his bishop, thereby removing one of a terryfing pair of angry wolves. This is a good idea, however... Rubinstein has other ideas. :) | ||||

Rubinsteins begins the display of fireworks. | ||||

!Sacrificing a queen wasn't enough for Rubinstein. He now throws another rook into the the mixture. | ||||

24. Qxd2 Bxe4+ 25. Qg2 Rh3 |
!And checkmate by ...Rxh2 is unavoidable. Notice that the white queen on on g2 is pinnedby the black bishop on b6. Rubinstein. What a game! I hope you liked this game. I'm happy for positive and negative feedback aslong as its constructive criticism! and feel freee to leave comments. Thanks Tom | ||||
