♛ Find the variations shown in the video lesson in this blog-post –
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares a powerful chess opening for Black against 1.d4: the Dutch Defense, which arises after 1.d4 f5.
This video is a continuation of an earlier lesson, and GM Smirnov will show you the most common ideas for Black, attacking patterns, and middlegame plans, so that you’re fully equipped with the knowledge to defeat 1.d4.
The main advantage of this variation is that it’s an opening system; it does not depend on specific moves by White. Instead, Black can play a system of moves regardless of White’s responses and still achieve a strong attacking position.
