When Black plays 1... f5 his intentions are clear, he wants to win. It's also no surprise that in do-or-die games, such as the critical last round, this defense against the Queen's Pawn comes out of the coffin and the player with the white pieces must be ready for him as one false step can lead to a game which is over almost before it starts. You are treated to 202 miniatures (games where moves number 25 or less) involving great players throughout the 20th century. You are shown where one of the players went wrong and how to "fix" it; new and forgotten ideas.

This review is from: Dutch Defense: New and Forgotten Ideas (Paperback)
This book looked very interesting. After delving into it I was quickly dissapointed. This is mainly a bunch of lightly anotated minatures (games of 25 moves or less). The book is well produced with a great quality of construction. The print is large and clear and the paper quality is superb. The games on the other hand tend to lean toward the inferior side. I was hoping to get more instruction on how to play the various lines in the dutch. Far superior but focusing on only one line I would recomend Understanding the Leningrad Dutch by Beim over this book. It isn't as broad in scope but is much more instructive.
