Akiba Rubinstein’s masterpiece against Rotlewi from 1907 features probably the greatest chess combination of all time as Rubinstein sacrifices nearly all of his pieces for a dazzling array of checkmates supported by some amazing bishops.
Lessons:
* Don’t capture on c4/c5 until your opponent develops their bishop.
* Bishops are better than knights!
* Pawns can’t move backward. (see also Larsen vs. Spassky, 1970)
* Never play f4!
