5. What are the lines that Black has to be concerned about outside the Stonewall, Leningrad, and Classical Dutch these days?

Well, if Black picks one he doesn't have to be concerned about the others, does he?


I thought the OP was asking about 1 d4, 2 others with this question.

To answer it, you've first got to decide whether you want to begin 1 ... e6 as Black or whether you wish to play (or have to play) 1 ... f5.

9. What sources are missing from this list?

Everything written in German.
That's quite relevant for the Classical Dutch.
I'll answer some of your questions later.
  

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.

3. What order of variations would you use to build a repertoire in the Dutch Defense? Why?

4. If you intended to play the Dutch as White and as Black would this change your answer to question 3? Why?

5. What are the lines that Black has to be concerned about outside the Stonewall, Leningrad, and Classical Dutch these days?

8. Do you think a book on Tactics in the Dutch Defense has validity these days?

9. What sources are missing from this list?


3. I'd learn the anti-Dutch first, because they are pretty common at club level.

4. I'm not really sure what you mean, because White doesn't really play the Dutch. If you mean the Bird, I don't play it.

5. I would guess 1.Nf3 f5 2.d3, ever since the Carlsen-Dolmatov game.

8. Yes.

9. There is Beating the Indian Defences, that has a chapter on 1.d4 f5 2.Nc3

I have some of these sources and have searched out the others for this post.

Some Questions to Consider:
 
1. With so many books written on this defense, why isn't there a Mastering the Dutch Defense book written like those in the French, King's Indian, and Spanish ?

2. Since MacDonald seems to indicate that the Stonewall should be learned first, why is this variation given less attention than the Leningrad Dutch?

3. What order of variations would you use to build a repertoire in the Dutch Defense? Why?

4. If you intended to play the Dutch as White and as Black would this change your answer to question 3? Why?

5. What are the lines that Black has to be concerned about outside the Stonewall, Leningrad, and Classical Dutch these days?

6. What would be your top picks for sources in each section above? Why?

7. Which variation in the Dutch do you think gets less attention than it deserves? Why?

8. Do you think a book on Tactics in the Dutch Defense has validity these days?

9. What sources are missing from this list?


Please pick a question or questions to discuss. Thanks for your input.
