Preface

It is an appealing feature of the Dutch that 1 .. .fS can be played again st virtually
any opening move apart from 1 e4.
H owever, this is slightly misleading if it suggests that you only h ave to learn
one basic sequence of moves after 1 .. .fS and then you are ready for anything. In
reality the Dutch l eads to a range of pawn structures, each of which requires its
own special treatment. For example, thi s book is built around the Leningrad
Dutch, but in many cases Bl ack will do best to set up a Stonewall centre with ... d7-
dS, rather than play the 'characteristic' ... d7-d6 Leningrad move.
Likewise after 2 ttJC3, 2 ..tg s and other early divergences by White, the pawn
structure h as little, or sometimes nothing at all, in common with the traditional
Leningrad Dutch . Thus at times the centre is characteri stic of the Queen 's Gambit;
at other times the King's Indi an ; and after 2 ..tg s it feel s like a strange Sicilian
Hedgehog !
So more preparation is required to play the opening than is apparent at first
glance, when 1 . .fS appears such a great l abour-saving device. On the plus side you
.

are going to h ave more fun playing the Dutch - its variety mean s you aren 't going
to grow bored of it any time soon .
In view of the range of possibilities after l...fS, can we say that there is any one
strategic theme that run s through the openin g ? I find the varied adventures of
Black's f-pawn the most intriguing aspect of the opening. The pawn is cast for­
ward irretrievably into the world on move one, and ends up performing varied

roles, sometimes i n the same game: a battering ram when i t advances t o f4; a pil­
lar of the state in the Stonewall, perhaps supporting a knight on e4; and the de­
stroyer of the white centre when it is exchanged for a pawn on e4. In a less aggres­
sive role it sits patiently on fS, restraining the white centre. Destroyer, restrainer,
pillar: the impact of the f-pawn is felt throughout the game, even if it vanishes
from the board at an early stage.
The Dutch i s a difficult opening for both players to h an dle, and sometimes it all
goes wrong for Black. H owever, there are al so great moments when the f-pawn
shows its power. Even the strongest opponents can find their position ripped up
by the dynamism of this little pawn .
Let me wish you good luck in your Dutch adventures. H ave fun with the f­
pawn !
