In this video I will show you the Rubinstein Trap, named after Akiba Kiwelowicz Rubinstein a Polish chess grandmaster who is considered to have been one of the strongest players never to have become World Chess Champion. The funny thing about the traps name is, that it wasn't named after Rubinstein because he won so many games with it. No! The completely opposite is the case. Rubinstin, one of the strongest players who ever lived on this planed, falled twice into the trap. Once in the game Max Euwe vs Akiba Rubinstein, Bad Kissingen 1928 and once in the game Alexander Alekhine vs Akiba Rubinstein, San Remo 1930.

I also made a Lichess study for the trap, so you can play through the moves by yourself. Here you can find the study: [ Ссылка ]

It's also important to understand, that the trap can not only occure after a forced sequence of moves, but can appear in many different positions, when ever white has a rook on c1, a knight on c3 and a bishop on f4, while blacks pieces just stand in the way of blacks queen. This is the reason why over the years many players have fallen for the trap. So I would advice every chess beginner to study the trap carefully.

This video is part of my "Opening Traps" - series, in which I will show you some entertaining and easy to learn opening traps.
