Akiba Rubinstein – 99 years ago

In 1910 Emanuel Lasker was World Champion, but the arguably strongest player
in the world was the Polish master Akiba Kiwelowicz Rubinstein (1882–1961),
a dominant figure in tournament chess who was winning most events and in glorious
style. In this week’s Playchess lecture
Dennis Monokroussos looks at a game or two of his from the 1911 tournament in
Karlsbad. 9 p.m. ET
