Beating The Dutch

    Can anyone offer advice for beating the Dutch? I am a d4 player and have dabbled in the g3 abd Bg2 system, but I always seem to fall to a massive kigside attack.

    If anyone can elaborate on the line that I am incorporating in this message, I would appreciate it, as this seems to fit my style (of course Black's responses may vary) The I idea I have is to castle queenside to launch my kingside if the position calls for it). Also, what are the dangers/pitfalls to watch out for in this line. Does anyone know of any anotated games that fit this scheme?

    Other Anti-dutch ideas are Welcome!

     Thanks!

    Join my tournament please, the Dutch defense.  I have room for three more people at the moment, and we can talk about ideas with the Dutch.

    If you want an aggressive line (you will have to do the research), try this...

    d4 f5 g4 fxg Bf4.  Never tried it, might be a cool system to experiment with in the tourney.

    play the staunton gambit 2. e4! or 2. Bg5!  both great responses that lead to fun games, one can give white a killer kingside attack, the other ties up black on the kingside.

    2. Bg5 doesn't bother Black too bad, you can play 2...g6, ...Bg7, etc. or you can play aggressive with ...h6, ...g5, ...Bg7 and ...Nf6 with an already advanced pawn center.  Just don't fall for the silly checkmate trap with ...f4!
