I'm interested to hear if any of you have experience with the Dutch Defense (1. d4 f5). It's a system I've been playing recently, really only a couple games so far, and I've been enjoyng it as a positional alternative to the various Queen's Gambit variations.
I used to play the English opening quite a bit as white and it reminds me of that though with some different ideas.
Interested to hear thoughts on middle game strategy for Black and some best responses for White.
Also, and this is a shameles plug, I put together a relatively small tournament to try to get some games in this opening.
The link is here for those interested in giving it a shot.
