White's winning chances reside in: (1) the unfortunate position of the 
black king -- note that the white king does not intervene at all until a 
late stage of the ending -- and (2) White's dark-square grip, especially 
the possibility of Bf8 attacking Black's g7-pawn. Once Black loses his 
g7-pawn White will have little difficulty in creating a passed h-pawn.}

interests in this game is above all the role which the knight at f4 has 
played. As a blockader he was strongly posted and excellently supported 
(by the bishop at h2). Again he had a crippling affect on Black's bishop 
at g7 and rook at h6, etc. Further, his "threat effect" was considerable, 
particularly on the points d5 and e6. (The mobility of White's e-pawn 
affords a piquant antithesis to the immobility of Black's pawn at f5.) And
lastly, his elasticity was striking, for he could composedly go on his 
travels, leaving the bishop to take his place.} 1-0

1.e4 {Notes by Dr. Emanuel Lasker from "The Evening Post", 1912, and Dr. 
Savielly Tartakower. *** Tartakower: The interesting feature here is how 
Rubinstein discovers - one might almost say creates - a weak point in his 
adversary's position and how he fastens on it, never to let go, until the 
game is won.} 1...e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Bb4 6.Nxc6 bxc6 
7.Bd3 O-O 8.O-O d5 9.exd5 cxd5 10.Bg5 c6 11.Ne2 Re8 {Tartakower: From the 
wide repertory of possible replies (11...Bc5, 11...Bd6, 11...Bg4 or 
11...h6), Black decides on the one with the greatest initiative.} 12.Nd4 
Qd6 13.Bh4 {Lasker: This maneuver is finely refuted. 13.Qf3 would have 
been preferable. *** Tartakower: More astute than 13.Qf3 Ne4 14.Be3 Qg6, 
and Black takes the lead.} 13...Ne4 14.c3 Bc5 15.f3 Qh6 {! Lasker: The 
beginning of a charming attack. If now 16.Be1 Bd6 17.g3 Nc5 with 
advantage.} 16.fxe4 Qxh4 17.exd5 cxd5 {Tartakower: There is no hurry to 
win a pawn by 17...Bxd4+ 18.cxd4 Qxd4+ 19.Kh1 Qxd5, by which the 
initiative would lose in plasticity. Maintenance of the pressure gives 
Black richer and more varied chances.} 18.Bf5 g6 19.Bxc8 Raxc8 20.Rf2 Re4 
{Lasker: Black now concentrates his fire upon the knight. Its position on 
d4 is necessary, yet untenable against the combined assault of the Black 
pieces, and owing to this contradiction White's game is lost.} 21.g3 Qe7 {
Tartakower: Now, frontal pressure on the e-file has become the theme of 
Black's strategy.} 22.Qd2 f5 23.Rd1 Re3 24.Kg2 Qe4+ 25.Kg1 Bb6 26.Rf4 Qe7 
27.Kg2 Rc4 {Lasker: Now 28...Bxd4, followed by 29...Re2+, is threatened. 
White has no valid defense, and resolves upon a desperate sacrifice.} 28.
Nxf5 {Tartakower: A despairing sacrifice. If 28.Kf2 Re4, with an increase 
in Black's attacking resources.} 28...Re2+ 29.Kh1 Qe6 {! Lasker: By this 
excellent move the game is won. If now 30.Qxd5 Rxf4 and wins a piece. 
White shortly resigned. The conduct of the game by Black impresses one as 
lucid, energetic, and harmonious from beginning to end. *** Tartakower: 
And wins. A clear-cut victory. *** The few remaining moves are missing.}
