Too generic of a question. Need specifics. Did he fianchetto the LSB? Did you play the best moves in the first place? Has e3 been played or is the pawn still on e2? Etc.
Need specifics to answer your question.
How to play the Dutch Defense against O-O-O

Usually the opposing LSB comes out to d3 instead of a fianchetto. I typically play the classical dutch setup with ...f5, ...Nf6, ...e6, ...Be7, ...O-O, and ...d6, then I usually try to plant my knight on e4 and play d5. That's usually how I play, but I'm not sure if it's the best thing to do in the opening. I believe my opponent's e pawn is still on e2, but they usually commit their d and c pawns to the 4th rank. The way those games usually go is my opponent sends his h pawn forward, then his g pawn, then transfers his rooks over to the kingside, and I just get mated. When my opponent castles short I like to play Qe8 to aid in the attack, but I don't know how to attack a king that has castled long in the dutch defense. Should I delay castling short or something?
I was hoping a Dutch defense expert could help me with this issue.
I've been playing the Dutch defense, mostly the classical dutch, as my weapon against 1.d4. My games usually go well when my opponent castles short, by I often lose when my opponent castles long because I'm the on that gets attacked. Are there any Dutch Defense players out there who no what to do when white castles long? Any help would be great.
