C03,C10-C11: Rubistein Variation
Hello everybody!
I would like to ask you how to fight against the Rubistein Variation, 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nd7. Are there an interesting line for White? Thanks! Started 02/24/03 at 10:20:57 by Scorpio (Guest) |

Why not play the Rubinstein?
Hi,

C03,C10-C11: Book on the Rubinstein French?
It seems to me that the Rubinstein French [1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3/Nd2 dxe4] serves black well. It is even played at the highest level occasionally. Are there any books dealing with the Rubinstein? I gu...
