The centre is the most important part of the chessboard, as pieces from the centre can easily move to either flank at great speed. On this occasion, IM Boroljub Zlatanovic will teach you with an instructive example – a game played between Akiba Rubinstein and Grigory Levenfish in 1911. In this game, you will see how Rubinstein punished Levenfish for his very risky moves (and sacrifice) without completing his development.
