	The chess games of Johannes Zukertort
		Johannes Hermann Zukertort was born on the 7th of September 1842 in Lublin, Poland.
		Zuckertort was also a natural genius, who had a similar mastery of tactics.
		I respect Zuckertort as much as anyone, but it's hard to assess his strength from the results of games where Fritz, and sometimes even me, find improvements on every fifth move or so.

	Rubinstein Attack
		THE RUBINSTEIN ATTACK by FM Eric Schiller is a guide to an opening system sometimes called the Zuckertort or Queen's Indian Reversed.
		First used successfully by Johannes Zukertort in the 1880s, the system was further refined by the great Akiva Rubinstein and many years later resurrected by Artur Yusupov and Susan Polgar.
		Schiller, who has also employed this line many times, notes that it is quite solid and respectable and offers good attacking chances against inaccurate Black play.

		As of early 2004, there are two Men's World Champions (Vladimir Kramnik and Ruslan Ponomariov), though there are plans to reunite them.
		The championship dates back to the 19th century, with most commentators regarding the match that Wilhelm Steinitz won against Johannes Zuckertort in 1886 being the first, though a few consider an earlier one which Steinitz won from Adolf Anderssen in 1866 as the first.
		The championship was conducted on a fairly informal basis through the nineteenth century and in the first half of the twentieth: if a player thought he was strong enough, he would challenge the reigning world champion to a match.

	Wilhelm Steinitz Summary
		Chess master and writer Fred Reinfeld (1910-61) once wrote that Steinitz was "a fine writer of English prose, equally bold in expression when he is conveying some nuance of technical judgement and when he is grinding his teeth over some fancied insult."
		In 1885, Steinitz accepted the challenge of Johannes Zukertort, a German-born physician, writer, editor, pianist and chess player.
		Zukertort had moved to England and founded the Chess-Monthly, one of the era's most influential chess magazines.
