Reuben had officiated at and/or organised a number of high-level chess events held in Britain and elsewhere, including the world chess championship, and was the chief organiser of British Chess Championship Congresses for a number of years. He was the chairman of the British Chess Federation[4] from 1996 to 1999, and was recently Manager of Senior Chess for the English Chess Federation. As of 2006, he was chairman of the FIDE Organisers' Committee and a member of other FIDE committees. He held the FIDE International Arbiter and FIDE International Organizer titles.

Reuben wrote several books on chess including Chess Openings: Your Choice! and The Chess Organiser's Handbook. He was also the author of several books on poker, including How Good is your Pot-Limit Omaha, How Good is your Pot Limit Hold'Em?, Poker 24/7: 35 years as a Poker Pro, and Starting Out in Poker. Reuben also co-authored Pot-Limit and No-limit Poker with Bob Ciaffone, which Mason Malmuth called "the best information ever put out on these games".[5] His teaching book Play Like a Pro was translated into French as Jouez comme les pros in 2007, and then recommended by the French travel guide publisher Petit Futé for French visitors to Las Vegas.[6]
