I was very happy po play this game in a memorial of one of my favorite players A. Rubinstein. I don't think it was done in his style, but I believe it is worth to his memory!  Die weie Drohung lautet 40.f8+, deshalb gab Schwarz auf. Ich freute mich sehr, diese Partie in einem Gedenkturnier fr einen meiner Lieblingsspieler gewonnen zu haben, A.Rubinstein. Ich glaube nicht, dass sie in seinem Stil war, aber sie war auf jeden Fall seiner Erinnerung wrdig!} 1-0
