This revised reprint of "Akiba Rubinstein: Uncrowned King" includes five new games from the Ostend tournament of 1906 but otherwise is a faithful copy of an outstanding and carefully researched book on one of the chess world's greatest players. Rubinstein could and did outplay the leading players of his day such as Capablanca and Lasker but, in spite of many fine tournament victories, did not possess the psychological strength to defeat them consistently in match play. Nevertheless many of his games remain exemplars of logic and beauty in chess and repay careful study even today. This edition contains nearly 500 of Rubinstein's games with annotations from top players of the time including Lasker, Tarrasch and Rubinstein himself. The book includes tournament crosstables, biographical information, annotated games and indexes of opponents, openings and annotators. This is a book worth having in any chess library.
