    ... of the games (many annotated) of one of the greatest and most influential players of all time
  

*by P***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2015*

This and its companion volume 1 constitute by far and away the most comprehensive collection available in any language of the games (many annotated) of one of the greatest and most influential players of all time. Rubinstein can be classed among the small group of "the greatest players never to win the World Championship" and he was very unlucky that the First World War interrupted his rise to the top (and also contributed to the ruin of his mental health). He made important contributions to practically all the major openings and played many beautiful games that can still be regarded as models. He has by now influenced several generations of players. Super-GM Boris Gelfand wrote: I’ve tried to learn from all players but, no doubt, I was most impressed by Yury Razuvaev and Valery Myrachvery’s “Akiba Rubinstein”. I read it again and again in my childhood. (...) The striving to play deeply in the opening, and the so-called “long plan”, that is when a game is played from the beginning to the end in one key… That’s what I like in chess, and it comes from Akiba."
