Born on this day 144 years ago in the town of Stawiski in the Russian Empire (today, Poland) – one of the greatest players, and greatest artists, in chess history – Akiba (Akiva) Rubinstein (1880-1961).

Great Akiba Rubinstein (1880-1961) was born today 142 years ago. Probably the greatest of non-champions. Author of numerous opening concepts and endgame discoveries, he somewhat lacked an iron will and sportive qualities, but his name will be remembered as long as chess exists. pic.twitter.com/hQfrPTKfFp
