French Defense on Steroids | Dus Chotimirky vs Rubinstein | Łódź 1905
Channel: Mordimer's Chess Channel
Date: 29/01/2020

Insane French Defense on Steroids played by young Akiba Rubinstein vs Fyodor Dus Chotimisrky. These two befriended in the chess tournament in Kiev 1903 and Fyodor decided to visit Łódź two year later. It's one of chess games played by them as preparation to incoming event in Barmen. We have Swiss Variation of French Defense on the board which Dus Chotimirsky played quite poorly and lost the pawn as well as initiative. Akiba Rubinstein castled to queens side, punished his opponent on king side and won pretty quickly. Hiding the king into the safety and avoiding complications and counter play was definitely great chess strategy here. That's why I decided to add it into my chess games with commentary. I hope you enjoy it and start to consider Mordimer Chess as the future  best youtube chess channel. From this game you can learn how to play french defense, however more Akiba Rubinstein chess games are coming to stay tuned and subscribe if you don't want to miss any. 

Watching master chess games with commentary is good way to improve chess skills. So you should follow Rubinstein saga, especially if you want to improve your endgame. However this was not the clue in this match - what you could get from it was the lesson of chess strategy for black in the French Defense chess opening. Rubinstein chess games are incredible rich source for future chess videos. I have a lot of fun of recording this series as it shows less known player from the past with his incredible contribution to theory of openings and endings. Chess games analyzed are great way to learn chess and doing that with Mordimer Chess will help us to become one of the best youtube chess channels. Hope you enjoy our chess videos. Thanks for watching and see you in the next one.
