Annotated Game #28: Rubenstein vs Maroczy (Part 1)

[tantzer]

Why didn't white push pawn to C-5 early in the game, say at 2:30? Wouldn't that help cramp black's position?

[KensOfficeUSA]

c5 by White would release the tention in the center and White would not be attacking the central square d5 and does not have the option of taking the d pawn (a center pawn). Plus Black can attack the c5 pawn (if played) with b6.
