it's the no nonsense dry humor.
The problem with the Dutch...and trust me I like to play it...but it states one thing.
"Either you get me...or I get you"
This is one of the most tactical openings in the 1.d4 language.
If you really wanna learn how to play the Dutch and win...I have always recommended playing the PCG or the Schliemann...but against 1.e4...try the Balogh a few times....if you can with with that then the Dutch is your defense against 1.d4
Otherwise KID or Gruenfeld.

Originally posted by chessisvanityI will play anyone with it...and i will not say i will win for sure...but I repeat noone will refute it.
Dave keeps trying to sell the PCG(philidor counter gambit)
I don't think anyone is buying it dave.
If I lose in the endgame that is fine...but I promise I will walk out of the opening with winning chances.
Simple as that...I have backed this opening since Johnathan Mestel made me believe in it...that was 1986 when I got to talk to him.

Game 4290373 🙁
That was actually a very tactical game.
If you want I will sit down this weekend and analyze it..I made notes for a bit...but after that b4 move i think it was I just sat in awe for a few minutes...went through a few variations then saw it.
You guys just wait...when i played on here before Tony was just an up and coming youngster.
This kid right here will be something else and killing all in a few years.
