treatment of the fight for the centre strongly reminds me of the following
variation:} 2. g3 Nf6 3. Bg2 g6 4. Nh3 d6 5. Nc3 Bg7 6. Nf4 c6 7. d5 {White
sustains his d5-pawn with pieces, not wasting time for the strategically
constructive c2-c4. This is how Korchnoi played on three occasions, winning
each time! The best known game was Kortschnoj,V (2625)-Gurevich,M (2645)

$5 {[%emt 0:00:38] For decades, White has almost invariably met the Dutch
Defence with g2-g3, but Black seems to be doing fine in the main lines of the
Leningrad system lately. Little wonder that at the top level White is trying
stepping aside, relying on his theoretical advantage of the first move in a
non-symmetrical position, rather than on long forced variations.} ({The Wijk
aan Zee winner had a similar approach in the last round of the tournament:} 3.

planned to choose against g2-g3, but in the absence of White's pressure along
the long diagonal, a logical answer. This position reminds me of a small
incident from my childhood. I was away from home for a few weeks when my
father called to tell me he had bought a book on the Dutch Defence. I had no
idea at all of the possible plans and ideas, but being caught by sudden
enthusiasm I started "analysing" on my own the position after 1.d4 f5. I
remember quite clearly that the current position became my main "tabyia" soon.
Later, I was disappointed to learn that g2-g3 outrules my setup and switcehd
to the 7...c6 Leningrad variation, which is the most critical nowadays, by the
way. Anyway, the thing I wanted to highlight is that there must be some
logical background to both sides' play, which made my then uninstructed mind
take this direction.} ({Actually, a more restrictive way of transposing to the

{Als gewiefter Taktiker, der sich gerne auf scharfe, zweischneidige Gefechte
einlässt, zeigte sich einmal mehr Werders australischer Newcomer GM David
Smerdon. Dass sein bayrischer Gegner IM Christoph Renner gerade in dieser
Partie mit offenem Visier kämpfte, indem er sich zu einem riskanten Aufbau mit
heterogenen Rochaden entschloss, war vermutlich keine geeignete Wahl.} 1. d4 e6

1. d4 f5 2. Nc3 $5 {The Nc3-move against the Dutch can be dubbed as a very
aggressive and tactical opening choice. The point of irony is that often, it
leads to closed and positional struggles. Why is it so? With the move Nc3,
White wants to immediately break in the centre with e4. If White can achieve
that he gets a good initiative. But Black more often than not prevents it with
the move d7-d5 and then a positional battle ensues as we shall see in this

1. d4 {Hansen,Cu} f5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg5 d5 4. Bxf6 exf6 5. e3 {Hansen: Experts
on the dutch opening seem to try to avoid this position. In "the dutch for the
tournament player" by Steffen Pedersen the author mentions this line but does
not analyse it. The same is the case in the older book "Winning with the
Dutch" by Robbert Bellin. In the german book "Holländische Verteidigung" G.
Nesis comes to the conclusion that white has some positional advantage. GM
Larry Christiansen in his book about the dutch defence (the german translation)
writes about (2.Sc3 d5 3.Lg5) 3..Sf6: Dieser Zug führt zu einer wenig
begeisternden Stellung. Probably there are more books about the dutch, but the
stale pawn-structure seems not to be popular with players who go for this
dynamic opening.} Be6 6. Bd3 Nc6 {Hansen: Now this move is very-modern - in a
way linked to opening-lines such as 1.d4 Sf6 2.c4 Sc6!? or 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Sc6. 
The classical setup would be to overprotect the d5-P with c7-c6 and then to
develop something like Nb8-d7, Bf8-d6, Qd8-e7 and long/short castle. The
textmove first of alle wants to harress the white Bd3 with Na6-b4. And if this
is not possible black continues his development with Qd8-d7 and 0-0-0. In this
way he gains to tempi. First of all he does not "waste time" on c7-c6.
Secondly he forces white to waste a move on a2-a3.} 7. Qf3 Qd7 8. a3 O-O-O 9.

find it amazing that this position is probably a draw. Still, we can but
admire the co-operation in black's camp. The queen and knight combine superbly
to create threats - ...Nf2+ is a winning threat at present. Moreover, the g7
bishop, which plays a critical attacking role in the next note, has in general
a function of shielding the king and ensuring that white's queen cannot return
to the fray with tempo.} 29. h3 (29. Rc2 Qe5 $1 {[%csl Rh2]} 30. g3 Qe4+ 31.
