   | Notes: |  
   | Feenstra Kuiper, Golombek and Di Felice give +5-5=0; Hooper and Whyld give +5-5=4; Elo gives 11/20 for Rubinstein as total for this and a second match, which is consistent with +5-5=0 for this one and +5-3=2 for the other; Lashin (at Sarah's Chess Journal) gives +6-6=5. This last source is dated 22-09-1903, so this match was finished by then. |  |  |  |
