3...dxe4 in Black repertoire book? I am not a French player (yet), but is there any repertoire book for Black which advocates 3...dxe4 (Rubinstein or Fort Knox)?

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?

3 ... dxe4 4 Nxe4 Nf6 5 Nxf6+ gxf6 Is this totally unsound? 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 Bg5 dxe4 5 Nxe4 Be7 6 Bxf6 gxf6 is obviously more favorable, but I currently play 3 ...

C10: Why not 4...h6 in the Rubinstein I've noticed that 3...h6 gets some attention vs. the Tarrasch and even against 3. Nc3. What about on Black's 4th move in the Rubinstein?
