Sep-03-10    rapidcitychess: Isn't 4.e3 just a waiting move? Seems useless to me. Sincerely, Rapidcitychess Sep-03-10    nummerzwei: <rapidcitychess: Isn't 4.e3 just a waiting move?> Since White generally follows up with 5.Bd3 and 6.0-0, the answer is no. Sep-03-10    rapidcitychess: Yes, I see that as in the Rubinstein of the NI, but there are better ways to accomplish that isn't there? Sincerely, Rapidcitychess
