Fort Knox Variation

Within the Rubinstein, Black develops the light-squared bishop with ...Bd7-c6, exchanging it for White's strong knight on e4. The resulting structure is extremely solid - hence the 'Fort Knox' nickname - though slightly passive. Black accepts a long defensive game in exchange for near-impregnable positions, ideal for players seeking a draw or aiming to outplay opponents in the endgame.
