The book is devoted to Akiba Rubinstein. It contains 64 of his games, with detailed commentary and explanations on various topics, as shown in picture 2. From the preface: ..As we can clearly see, we are fully justified in saying that Akiba Rubinstein was the first complete chess player—the first to master chess logic in its entirety. He was the first to play clear, plain, methodical chess. No unnecessary extravagance, no reckless risk-taking, no bluffs, no wild sacrifices—none of that. Only sound, logical moves, combined with a persistent striving for centralization and harmony. Such a chess maestro must be your number-one mentor—especially if you have not yet reached master level. Everything starts with him. Your chess education, your journey from club or café player to master, should begin with Rubinstein. He is the leading mentor for many phases of the game, especially the middlegame and the endgame.
