In 1899 the format of the championship of Russia was changed to a round robin event that was known as the All-Russian Masters' Tournament. Chigorin won the first three events in 1899, 1900/01 and 1903. The 1905/06 event was won by G. Salwe and by 1907 Chigorin was too sick to compete and the next three events were won by Rubinstein. Here is a brilliant game by Rubinstein from the 1907 event. Rubinstein's attack is really amazing.
Cant see the game here but if its the one vs Rotlewi it is my all time favorite attacking game despite Rotlewi weak resistance. The imagination alone is fantastic.
