Karpov made use of 2...-d5 in his match against Sokolov in the 80's and was quite successfull with it.
  
Yusupov once said that “The problem with the Dutch Defence is that later in many positions the best move would be ...f5-f7” but he is surely wrong.

It may lead to another Marshall Gambit: 1.e4 c6 2.c4 e6 3.d4 d5 4.Nc3. White has some other options, but I don't know about their status.

Good point and probably worth a punt if you are a Semi-Slav player who normally allows the Marshall

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

2...e5 is the main alternative. I suspect 2...e6 is considered passive

> Looking for a decent alternative to transposing to a Panov, if such exists. Is 2. ... e6 really that bad ?
