Akiva Rubinstein occupies a unique position in chess history. On of the greatest artists ever to sit down at a chessboard, Rubinstein was also the strongest player never to get an opportunity to play for the title of World Champion.
The Life & Games of Akiva Rubinstein, Volume 1: Uncrowned King focuses on the years 1882-1920, covering Rubinstein’s rise from a modest upbringing to his emergence as Emanuel Lasker’s chief challenger in the last years leading up to World War I. It also examines the effects this conflict had on his sensitive psyche and the way it influenced his play in the post-War years.
The most definitive work ever done on the first part of Rubinstein’s career, this revised and expanded second edition offers almost 500 games, many of them deeply annotated with notes translated from top players of the pre-World War I era, including Lasker, Tarrasch, Schlechter and Rubinstein.
International Master John Donaldson is one of America's most popular chess authors. His most recent release is the second edition of "A Legend on the Road", about Bobby Fischer's 1964 transatlantic exhibition tour.
International Master and three-time champion of Bulgaria Nikolay Minev is well-known for his books and articles, although his most recent work,"A Practical Guide to Rook Endgames", has been well received by chessplayers worldwide.
