This reminds me of Larsen writing long ago that he didn't like 8...e5 and didn't understand why it was considered the main line ...

Go to www.chessbase.de, scroll down until you see the heading for the article about the two DVDs and click on the link: 
Videobeispiel aus “Leningrad Dutch” ansehen

This link will provide you with a short sample. Not much, but it gives you an idea of Andrew's style and the main line he recommends.

I have talked to my trainer about the absoulute mainline
1. d4 f5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. g3 g6
4. Bg2 Bg7 5. O-O O-O 6. c4 d6 7. Nc3 c6 8. d5 e5 9. dxe6 Bxe6 and we looked what previoes sources said about 7 __ c6. MacDonald writes in "Starting out the Dutch defence" that c6 is hypersolid and that only reason why he wouldnt recommend it for black is becouse that he thinks that 8. d5 e5 9. dxe6 Bxe6 is very dull. 

I ordered my copy yesterday to see for myself.

Kramniks once stated that the Petroff is the refutation of 1 e4. MacDonald once called Petroff "a turgid boring opening". If MacDonald is right about c6 than the Leningrad Dutch is the refutation of 1 d4!

Sean Marsh has a new review up on his site on both of Martin's Chessbase CD's on the Dutch. Here's a link:

Hello again,

So now I got my copy. This DVD covers the most of the main-lines with c4. It features 22 games + two videos on the strategical aspects, 1 for black and 1 for white + 1 video of the recommended mainline for black. 

The main move Mr.Martin suggests is the c6 system of the leningrad dutch. 

The games are mainly contemporary, most between 2007-2008, with a few games refered to in earlier sources (e.g. Burmakin-Berkovich (1992), see Beim 2002; Anand-Fritz(2000), see Kinderman (2005)).
Four of the games features the living legend Malaniuk (e.g. Grigoryian-Malaniuk (2008).

I am not qualified to speak of critical lines, because I have only played the Qe8 variation.  But the DVD contains:

3 inspiring games
1 7...c6 8.Rb1 (Answer 8....Ne4, alt. a5)
1 7...c6 8.Qc2 (Answer 8....Na6)
1 7...c6 8.Re1 (Answer 8....Na6)
2 7...c6 8.b3 (Answer 8....Na6 or Qa5)
4 7...c6 8.d5 (Answer 8...e5 9.de Be6 and then Qd3,b3)
2 White set-up with d4,c4,Nc3 and Bg5
2 early c3 with either Qb3 or Nh3
2 early Nh3
3 early b4
1 Malaniuk special 

I have not mentioned the sidelines and game variations Mr.Martin gives in his presentations. I will not make a review saying buy or buy not. I can only speak for myself and yes I liked this DVD. But as with any DVD you will have to check-out things using your Database (my opinion).

The sidelines 2.Bg5, 2.Nc3 is presented in The ABC of the Anti-dutch, which I do not have yet.

Kind regards /DrSnuggles

Hi All, There is also a companion DVD on Anti-Dutch lines. There were very similar titles by Andrew Martin on Foxy Openings videos and later DVDs. Can anyone confirm that these are updates and not just the same material in the ABC / Fritz Trainer format ?

Hi All

Looking for details of the main lines recommended by Andrew.

I am sure I will probably get anyway but I would simply like to know the mainline.

Why do chessbase not say.

Strange?

Hi,

I just bought it and it will arrive in a few days. I can post some lines then. You can then ask for the specifics.
Regarding the screen caps at chessbase, I think he will suggest the c6 line. Which seems interesting too me, when Qe8 is covered in so many books already (e.g. Kindermann). c6 is a bit easier to play, but slower I think. 

So, in a few days we will now.

Has anyone here seen Andrew Martins new disc The ABC of the Leningrad Dutch? What variation does he recommend in critical lines? Saw it today at local chess shop but I did like a review before I buy it.
