Rubinstein at the elite level? Almost no 2700+ players play the Rubinstein French - it seems that Georg Meier is the highest rated player who uses it for more than a surprise weapon. Why is this? Is the opening in theoretical troub... Started 06/15/19 at 15:54:06 by stockhausen	9	6020	06/27/19 at 17:06:54 By: MW

Why not play the Rubinstein? Hi, I kept wondering what could be the reasons for prefering to play the Caro-Kann, or French Classical over the Rubinstein. They often reach similar positions but the nuances are not obvious to... Started 09/30/18 at 13:33:49 by nocteus	6	6465	04/30/19 at 06:14:33 By: Leon_Trotsky

C10: Meier on the Rubinstein Var in NIC-yearbook Georg Meier apparently has written an article on the Rubinstein Variation with 7.c3 in the latest NIC-yearbook.

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.
