The traditional move order involves White playing 2.c4. More commonly, White will start with 2.g3. Some common variations are: c4 is played after g3 and Bg2; c4 is played after Nf3; and c4 is played after 0-0.
Examples:
- traditional: 2.c4 Nf6 3.g3 g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.Nf3 0-0 6.0-0 d6
- common: 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.0-0 0-0 6.c4 d6 (see diagram)
White has various more aggressive alternatives to the standard moves, including
- 2.Nc3 Nf6 (or 2...d5) 3.Bg5;
- 2.Bg5;
- 2.e4!?, the Staunton Gambit, named after Howard Staunton, who introduced it in his match against Bernhard Horwitz.[8][9] The Staunton Gambit was once a feared attacking line,[10] but it has been out of favour for over 80 years.[11] Grandmaster Larry Christiansen and International Master Jeremy Silman have opined that it "offers White equality at best."[12]
- Carl Mayet introduced a completely different gambit approach to the Dutch in 1839 against von der Lasa, playing 2.h3 followed by 3.g4.[13] Von der Lasa later published analysis of this line in the first edition of the Handbuch des Schachspiels.[14][15] Viktor Korchnoi, one of the world's leading players, reintroduced the line into tournament practice in Korchnoi–Känel, Biel 1979.[16] GM Christiansen later concluded, as von der Lasa and Staunton had done over 140 years earlier, that Black could get a good game by declining the gambit with 2...Nf6 3.g4 d5![17]
Black sometimes starts with the move-order 1...e6 to avoid these lines, although Black must then be ready to play the French Defense if White continues 2.e4, rendering the Dutch no longer an option.
This is not a thread to go off-topic with.

Hi Terminator. I see someone bumped this thread.
But The Cello is always posting some opening stuff in random threads. Many of these openings I don't even use!!! I think I'd much rather play the Dutch rather than some Queen's Gambit thingy if I'm Black.
If I'm white then Vienna Game for me if PK4-PK4 then NQB3 is what I like to do with a possibility of PKB4 later if I can.
But you're right. this is a community section and not an opening one.
I do want to hug the Cello for being nice and sweet.
