Against the Dutch Defense - 2005/12/11 13:26For the people who play for/against the Dutch Defense... I was looking at the Dutch, and saw a couple of games with the following moves.. 1. d4 f5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. d5 It is not a very common variation. But is it sound? The continuation 3. ... g6 4. c4 Bg7 5. Nc3 0-0 6. Bf4 Ne4 This last move of Black creates problems for White. Is there a better way to play for White after 3.d5 ... or can Ne4 be refuted without any problems? ---------

re:Against the Dutch Defense - 2005/12/11 13:30Agianst the Dutch, much more interesting is 2. Qd3 followed by 3. g4 . ---------

re:Against the Dutch Defense - 2005/12/11 13:59Is it possible for you to send any games that you lovingly have starting with this variation. I had been to Eric Schiller`s webpage recently, and this gambit (Manhatan Gambit) In reality is discuyssed there. Furthermore but I could not find many marginally games. ---------

re:Against the Dutch Defense - 2005/12/11 16:26(1-0). IMO, 2. I guess e4 (Staunton) basically finishes off the Dutch. ---------
