Rubinstein's Maneuver

Rubinstein's maneuver sends a piece along an unexpected route — through squares that look passive — to arrive at the one post where it decides the game. Akiba Rubinstein used the device with unmatched patience in his Four Knights and King's Indian practice. The games follow the route in full and the quiet moves that make it possible.
