The Leningrad Dutch Defence

by Svitlana Demchenko

The Leningrad Dutch Defence is a dynamic and aggressive opening choice for Black, perfect for players who want to add some adventure and spice to their repertoire.

Unlike its relative, the Stonewall Dutch (…f5-e6-d5), the Leningrad Dutch setup (…f5-g6-d6) is more flexible and more risky, having similarities with the double-edged King’s Indian Defence.

This course covers the Leningrad Dutch as a 3-in-1 weapon, as it can be used against many common first moves: 1. d4, 1. c4 and 1. Nf3.

The course includes in-depth theory, opening disasters for both sides, interactive tactical exercises, model games, and practice positions!

Video running time: 9 hours 50 minutes
With interactive training including video feedback
Extra: Training with ChessBase apps - Memorize the opening repertoire and play key positions against Fritz on various levels
