[@lucianocastello9260]

This opening has many problems and it is bad to not show them, some examples: a) 4. a3 before your bishop-pin forces you to a passive structure… b) 2.Nc3 followed by 3.Bg5 with e4 in mind is very strong… c) 3.g3 playing like a Catalan gets you in disconfort…

[@davidforthoffer9180]

a) I think 4. a3 wastes a move. If Black checks at b4, interpose the bishop. b) Please show a strong continuation after 1. d4 f5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg5 d5. c) How does playing 3. g3 gives White any discomfort? I think it gives White a modest advantage.

[@MsJasuke]

Answer should be Qg6, e4 fxe4, Bxe4 Bxe4, Qxe4 Nxe4 The idea is after moving the black queen to g6, the white knight is essentially pinned as it is blocking the essential g2 square. Thus the only defense after Qg6 is using the e pawn to defend. And black will win if they trade at the e4 square

[@devonfoster3611]

Please show how to beat the London with the Dutch❤️

[@BobChess]

8:34 The answer is e5. Attacking and a bishop and in the next move. Move your pawn to e4 and fork a knight and a bishop.

[@ZDTF]

[@davidforthoffer9180]

The problem with ... e5 by Black is that e5 is defended only twice, but attacked three times. White would just take, with de. Then ... Bxf3 is bad because of exf6 and Black has a bishop and a pawn hanging.

[@iluvmovies052]

⁠@@davidforthoffer9180 e5 is defended three times by Black - by a Knight, Pawn and Queen. It wins

[@sgt.gekubar1414]

I would play Bxf3 in the POD, because I think it’s a high chance white will recapture with the g-pawn, doubling the pawns in the f-file (only option I see if white doesn’t wants to loose a knight for free) and then throw in Qg6 and the only “reasonable” moves for white is either Kh1 or Bg3. Nh5 traps the dark squared bishop in both lines.

[@JamesWilliams-xr7ri]

Igor, the most common reply to 1. ... f5 is 2. g3, which you didn't cover in the video. Your plan here for Black relies on ... b6 and fianchettoing the QB, but I think 2. g3 stops all that. Could you please cover what to do against 2. g3 by White?

Great video Igor! I watched it twice. The dutch system and the great attacking games are great stuff. Tried it too in rapid, it works allright. Maybe I finally have an answer to my pal's 1 Nf3 and 1 Nc3.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SudhirKishor6603]

At 22:29 , I think that black can still sacrifice the queen by en passant capture of the pawn. So after the bishop captures the queen on h5 , black will play h2 check , then king captures h2 (forced) , then Rxh5 check , then Kg1 forced , then finally Rh1# (checkmate)

[@Reteph58]

Nice, informative! I used it a lot, as a nice surprise opening esp. at lower level. I liked esp. to play the Leningrad variation (1 ....f5, 2 ...Nf6, 3 ...g6). But only thing: 1. ...f5, 2. e4 and 1 ...f5, 2. Bg5. Then the surprise suddenly is with white,. So best is 1 ...e6, bu then you mest have a good answer to the French defense.

[@sanjayguptasanjay2100]

d5, bfg5, d4😊

[@davidsteiner8688]

There are many different moves from white and this system will not work. White can play Staunton gambit (2. e4) or immediatelly 2. Bg5 or 2. g3 with fianchetto of bishop to g2 etc. or solid system against Dutch with 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg5.

[@bjorngillefalk8965]

The Staunton gambit is really dangerous tho.

[@robertoZX64]

[@frozencloud17]

Ginger GM plays this a lot. I thought the Dutch beats players because they don’t know much about it. But it apparently it actually is a good opening.

Thank you so much for your videos igor, I have a question, can you make a video on the grunfeld?

[@bruceokelo5587]

Whenever i play D4 and someone plays f5. I can usually fast enough play Nc3 and pawn e4 and play that position out with good results. Why is white d4 and e4 being the only line explored? Is it the best course of action for white? I can even see a fiachetto on king side for white taking people out of prep

[@user-ti4di1uh2d]

This system is actually my default opening against anything I don’t know. Although I’m starting with either e6 or b6 since I’m too lazy to study various gambit against 1f5.

[@Trotsky1981]

Seems this is highly dependent on late development of the dark-squared bishop. This sort of king's side attack is much more difficult to execute against the London System.

[@user-qd9pe6ob6e]

[@Bushwakbill]

And heres another point. Right at move two when you moved your king pawn out,most players remaining flexible would hone in on that open square. Low rated games happen early bro,not late. Maybe in your range they dont try early attacks, but 1000 is rife with them..

[@herrrmike]

Cheeky under-promotion to end that final game. Lol

[@marknieuweboer8099]

2.g3 prevents Black from fianchettoing the queen's bishop ánd from developing the king's bishop to b4.

[@cesare77]

In that case I think this system could easily turned into the stonewall.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

Sure - but that's an entirely different beast. And Black won't win 90% games with it.

[@cesare77]

@@marknieuweboer8099 strong players know that against the Dutch g3 is one of the best move but I think that d4 players are better prepared against queen gambit or Indian defence, so the Dutch could be an interesting alternative in particular for e4 player like me that haven’t much time to prepare lines against d4.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

The Dutch certainly is interesting. I have played it for about a quarter of a century; won some great games and lost some terribly. My level is not strong (about ELO 1500), still I met 2.g3 pretty often, even though I always started with 1...e6. Also I have played it in corr. games. The Classical Dutch is not fit for unexperienced amateurs (I have played chess about 15 years before I took it up) and certainly not the Stonewall (which I never played - it's far from dynamical). Black at a very early stage faces problems how to develop the queenside. This video fails short regarding the tools Black needs to tackle them. Actually it deals with an ideal scenario - White playing an early Nf3 ánd c4. Then the scheme with ...Bb4 and ...Bb7 works very well indeed. If you have questions about the Classical Dutch (bar the Stonewall) you're welcome.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

Bonus: if you're an agressive 1.e4 player I have a nice idea for you against the English: 1.c4 e5 2.g3/2.Nc3 f5. This is a Sicilian Grand Prix Attack with colors reversed. In several positions the minus tempo (Knight on b8 iso c3 as in the version for White) actually benefits Black. Are you interested? I ask because I happen to know that the Stonewall is very suspect after 1.c4 because of the plan d3 and e4. The setup d3 and Qc2 also works well against ...Bb4 and ...Bb7.

[@ytmndman]

Is the solution to the puzzle e5?

[@matthewsutton6103]

I feel like in nearly all of my games, my opponent never plays knight c3 and doesn't give me the chance to trade my bishop. I'd love advice on what to do if that happens since it's more common than this setup you show

Hey Igor! Question, do you have any suggestions when i get hit with their dark bishop out to G5 early pinning my dutch knight on F6 to my queen..i get hit with this pin almost every dutch game i play and i dont wanna push the kingside pawns cus i feel that weakens me in the long run , so im not sure best approach for that pin when playing Dutch.. anyone have any tips for this?

[@davidforthoffer9180]

I don't like misleading titles. Sure, you can win 90% of your games with this opening against 1.d4 AGAINST WEAK OPPONENTS, but not against good opponents. I think White playing Nc3 early is a mistake. The role of White's queen-side knight is to trade it off for Black's knight at e4. So instead of playing Nc3 early, I like to fianchetto my light-square bishop and castle first. If Black checks on b4, interpose the bishop. Delay c4 and Nc3 until after you castle. A game might be 1. d4 f5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. g3 e6 4. Bg2 d5 5. O-O Bd6 6. c4 O-O 7. Qc2 c6 8. Nc3 Ne4 9. Nxe4 fxe4 10. Nd2 Nd7 11. f3 exf3 12. Bxf3 Nf6 13. e4. I think White has good pressure in the center, but by no means is going to win 90% of the time, except against weak opponents.

This is fantasy chess. NO ONE would play the idiotic moves black made , in order for your system to work. All the way through the video I watched as black did not take pieces that would have changed everything. Move the knight back beside the king? No one. So is it that 1000 rated players,in their ignorance,trading more often,avoid the snares of well thought out plans,by not "playing along"? .... 🤔
