I think the problem after 7.. Ne4!? is 8. Nxe4! as given in other thread. Other moves look fine for black.

For example the most common 8. Qc2, Nxc3 9. Qxc3, a5 10. b3, Nc6 11. Bb2, Bf6 and just e5 or if Rd1 first Qe7 etc.

I am (a lot) more used to play the Leningrad and that's the reason I voted for Qe8. Particularly in the classical, this move goves black quite clear plans.
Nevertheless, it seems that Ne4 leads to better results. But that's for the grandmasters, a bit to high a level for me  Wink
  

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.

After all those years I still don't know the answer ....
7...Qe8 has the problem (?) of 7.b4.
6...a5 and 7...d6 has the problem (?) of 8.b3.
With 7...Ne4 I don't have experience. TonyRo has presented some interesting ideas in other threads.
Sorry, can't vote.
  

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.

I wouldn't mind hearing about your problems? In which variation?

Just curious to know which line(s) people prefer. I have been having a bit of trouble with 7...Ne4.
