The French Defense is characterized by the following moves: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 and after 3.Nc3 and 3...dxe4, we enter the Rubinstein Variation of the French Defense. As white recaptures the pawn on e4, the same position can also be reached via the move order 3.Nd2 dxe4 4.Nxe4. The main focus of this video is on the basic ideas, strategies and plans for both sides in the different lines.
