Any Leningrad Dutch players?

I am considering looking into the Leningrad Dutch.  Wondering if there are any current players that would be open to a few unrated correspondence/daily games so I can see how this looks.  This could serve us both - you can practice it and I can see it in action.  I would like to try both aggressive/attacking moves as well as basic positional moves as White.   I know opening explorer can do this but I like to see more "human" moves.

Currently learning the Dutch as a whole against d4. Happy to play any variation for the practice.

Yes , I play the Leningrad , actually I play F5 against almost everything,it is not a big deal, if I could I would not allow to play 1.d4 to my opponent

It is the bird reversed , is the only fun line to play with black against D4

The englund gambit D4 e5 is more profitable in rapid games than dutch according to database, but it is the worst opening you can play against d4

Also using the dutch exclusively against d4.

I play the Dutch, but not the Leningrad.  Cannot help you there.

Do you agree with use of opening books? I never played the Leningrad before,but would like to give it a try.

Even if no one wants to play classical dutch, we still need to prepare for the gambit lines btw as these will arrise in games before the Lenningrad variation occurs.

There's a lot of information in the "Dynamic Dutch Defense" Club. Why not join?

I am ok with correspondence, you can send a challenge any time.

Leningrad was my go-to setup when I played the bird's opening (1.f4), and is my secondary opening against 1.d4 right now. Always loved the imbalances.

I have never been able to play the Leningrad Dutch well, but I always wanted to because I saw some nice games that black won in it.

The Dutch is a great weapon. I’m a classical dutch player thanks to that damn ginger!!
