This episode we hear about a young man who in just six months’ time went from losing regularly at his local club to being, some say, the best chess player in his country. It’s the story of Akiba Rubinstein. We’re studying Rubinstein vs. Gersh Rotlewi, Lodz (1907). You can check out the full annotation here: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1119679
