Semi-Slav Defense: Rubinstein System
Overview
Semi-Slav Defense: Rubinstein System is a variation within the Closed & Semi-Closed Games family, indexed as ECO D45.
The Closed & Semi-Closed Games group covers closed and semi-closed games — 1.d4 systems characterised by long strategic manoeuvring rather than early tactics.
It begins with 11 plies and takes 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 c6 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. e3 Nbd7 6. Ne5 to reach the canonical position.
It is a variation of Semi-Slav Defense: Accelerated Move Order, which itself descends from the root opening Queen's Pawn Game.
