Had to share this one :) 

They shouldn't try dutch defense against a dutchie :-)

I played the dutch defense a lot by the way, because of the name of course, and because i never studied d4 openings. My success rate however is very moderate and i am now studying other responses to d4. 

EXACTLY the same thing happened with me once. The bad thing was that I was black.

@dutchcourage, hehe well in his defense, he was Dutch too :P 
@ StrategicPlay: Lol! 

I had a win with this in a 30 minute tournament game against a 160BCF rated player (circa 1800Fide?).

looooong wait for the next game :)

I thought 4.e4 was considered a valid alternative

Thanks, I'll look at 4..Rh7. I've always played 4..Bg7 up to now, which I thought was ok, e.g.

Thanks for the advice. If this happens again I'll remember it :)
