Rubinstein system against Nimzo Indian
A variation played by Bobby Fisher and Portisch

The Insight chess show by GM Henrik Danielsen continues with the secrets of Nimzo Indian. Today’s focus is on the Rubinstein defence, a variation played by Bobby Fisher, but is still quite popular.

Nimzo Indian begins with 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4. So far we have been following the series of Nimzo Indian with 4. Qc2 (the latest episode 3 here). Today another parallel series start, with analysis of 4. e3, a system named after Rubinstein.

Part 1 presents the basics of the opening. Part 2 is looking at the game Portisch – Fisher, analysis of that classical piece will continue in Part 3 as well.

The first video on the Rubinstein system is in two parts, more from the show tomorrow on the pages of Chessdom.com.
