Igor helped me break through my stagnant phases in ranking and Im pretty pleased with his way of teaching. No cheap tricks, purely theoretical, tactical with a sprinkle of opponent tactics against your moves.
Igor, the most common reply to 1. ... f5 is 2. g3, which you didn't cover in the video. Your plan here for Black relies on ... b6 and fianchettoing the QB, but I think 2. g3 stops all that. Could you please cover what to do against 2. g3 by White?
James, notice from the Lichess opening explorer database that only 3% of White side players play 2. g3. Probably among professional players, g3 is the most common response, even the books on Dutch primarily focusing on that. During my years of trying out the Dutch Defense, my opponents have rarely played g3 followed by fianchetto. I believe this is the genius of Igor's systems: he prioritizes moves that developing players actually use. I agree with sammxn that the Stonewall is a good option with BP on d5 stuffing the White bishop on g2. Historically, Black has recorded numerous brilliant attacking victories with the Stonewall against 2. g3. Another idea I might try for Black is going ahead and fianchettoing the BP on b7 anyway, and then trade off with the WB (when WN leaves f3) to leave a hole for White on g2.
This opening has many problems and it is bad to not show them, some examples: a) 4. a3 before your bishop-pin forces you to a passive structure… b) 2.Nc3 followed by 3.Bg5 with e4 in mind is very strong… c) 3.g3 playing like a Catalan gets you in disconfort…
a) I think 4. a3 wastes a move. If Black checks at b4, interpose the bishop. b) Please show a strong continuation after 1. d4 f5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg5 d5. c) How does playing 3. g3 gives White any discomfort? I think it gives White a modest advantage.
I would play Bxf3 in the POD, because I think it’s a high chance white will recapture with the g-pawn, doubling the pawns in the f-file (only option I see if white doesn’t wants to loose a knight for free) and then throw in Qg6 and the only “reasonable” moves for white is either Kh1 or Bg3. Nh5 traps the dark squared bishop in both lines.
The problem with ... e5 by Black is that e5 is defended only twice, but attacked three times. White would just take, with de. Then ... Bxf3 is bad because of exf6 and Black has a bishop and a pawn hanging.
Great video Igor! I watched it twice. The dutch system and the great attacking games are great stuff. Tried it too in rapid, it works allright. Maybe I finally have an answer to my pal's 1 Nf3 and 1 Nc3.
At 22:29 , I think that black can still sacrifice the queen by en passant capture of the pawn. So after the bishop captures the queen on h5 , black will play h2 check , then king captures h2 (forced) , then Rxh5 check , then Kg1 forced , then finally Rh1# (checkmate)
Nice, informative! I used it a lot, as a nice surprise opening esp. at lower level. I liked esp. to play the Leningrad variation (1 ....f5, 2 ...Nf6, 3 ...g6). But only thing: 1. ...f5, 2. e4 and 1 ...f5, 2. Bg5. Then the surprise suddenly is with white,. So best is 1 ...e6, bu then you mest have a good answer to the French defense.
So I tried this 3 times and not one time they move the knight to c3, sothe set up doesn't work and you are stuck with your black squared bischop, what you do then?

This is the extended version of the video that you have posted last month which I loved it but not has all the variation.This video completes the last month video
Whenever i play D4 and someone plays f5. I can usually fast enough play Nc3 and pawn e4 and play that position out with good results. Why is white d4 and e4 being the only line explored? Is it the best course of action for white? I can even see a fiachetto on king side for white taking people out of prep
This system is actually my default opening against anything I don’t know. Although I’m starting with either e6 or b6 since I’m too lazy to study various gambit against 1f5.
Answer should be Qg6, e4 fxe4, Bxe4 Bxe4, Qxe4 Nxe4 The idea is after moving the black queen to g6, the white knight is essentially pinned as it is blocking the essential g2 square. Thus the only defense after Qg6 is using the e pawn to defend. And black will win if they trade at the e4 square
17:29. 1Q-f3 B×Q+, 2P×B, now where does the knight go? Hang the knight and activate the queen. 2----Q-e3, 3P×N Q-e2+, 4K-h3 Q×B, 5P×d6 Q×b5, 6P-d7 R-d8 R-c8. Black is lost. No. 2----Q-d5, 3P×N Q×R.
e5 dxe5 dxe5 wins one way or another either Bf4, Bd3 of Nf3 for a pwan: If the Bishop retreats: e4, only way to stop that would have been Nxe5 Nxe5 and again a Bishop for a pawn
I feel like in nearly all of my games, my opponent never plays knight c3 and doesn't give me the chance to trade my bishop. I'd love advice on what to do if that happens since it's more common than this setup you show
There are many different moves from white and this system will not work. White can play Staunton gambit (2. e4) or immediatelly 2. Bg5 or 2. g3 with fianchetto of bishop to g2 etc. or solid system against Dutch with 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg5.
Seems this is highly dependent on late development of the dark-squared bishop. This sort of king's side attack is much more difficult to execute against the London System.
Based on the thumbnail, I'm assuming the secret is you're coming out the wardrobe any minute. It's alright brother. We all accept you exactly as you are. ❤ I'm pretty confident I don't need to watch this one. I'm pretty darn good at assuming. I would never make an ass of you and me.
23:45 If your pawn is close to promote and ready for checkmate don't icrease your egoism for promote him to the Queen and just promote him to DA ROOOK!!!
Is there a PGN to this video. i have been playing the London System for 6 years and still trying to learn the lines. I think a PGN would help immensely. i only have so much time to spend studying. thanks Ironbyron
@@marknieuweboer8099 strong players know that against the Dutch g3 is one of the best move but I think that d4 players are better prepared against queen gambit or Indian defence, so the Dutch could be an interesting alternative in particular for e4 player like me that haven’t much time to prepare lines against d4.
The Dutch certainly is interesting. I have played it for about a quarter of a century; won some great games and lost some terribly. My level is not strong (about ELO 1500), still I met 2.g3 pretty often, even though I always started with 1...e6. Also I have played it in corr. games. The Classical Dutch is not fit for unexperienced amateurs (I have played chess about 15 years before I took it up) and certainly not the Stonewall (which I never played - it's far from dynamical). Black at a very early stage faces problems how to develop the queenside. This video fails short regarding the tools Black needs to tackle them. Actually it deals with an ideal scenario - White playing an early Nf3 ánd c4. Then the scheme with ...Bb4 and ...Bb7 works very well indeed. If you have questions about the Classical Dutch (bar the Stonewall) you're welcome.
Bonus: if you're an agressive 1.e4 player I have a nice idea for you against the English: 1.c4 e5 2.g3/2.Nc3 f5. This is a Sicilian Grand Prix Attack with colors reversed. In several positions the minus tempo (Knight on b8 iso c3 as in the version for White) actually benefits Black. Are you interested? I ask because I happen to know that the Stonewall is very suspect after 1.c4 because of the plan d3 and e4. The setup d3 and Qc2 also works well against ...Bb4 and ...Bb7.
Im 1600 on lichess and opponents like never play those moves as white after d4. And it seems like always very easy game for white, but black always have problem what to do with black bishop and second knight.
And heres another point. Right at move two when you moved your king pawn out,most players remaining flexible would hone in on that open square. Low rated games happen early bro,not late. Maybe in your range they dont try early attacks, but 1000 is rife with them..
Hey Igor! Question, do you have any suggestions when i get hit with their dark bishop out to G5 early pinning my dutch knight on F6 to my queen..i get hit with this pin almost every dutch game i play and i dont wanna push the kingside pawns cus i feel that weakens me in the long run , so im not sure best approach for that pin when playing Dutch.. anyone have any tips for this?
19:59 Wouldn't White playing Bc4 be a problem? Taking away the sniper bishop if traded and the black bishop not able to retreat on c6 as Black will play Bxe6+

I used this opening sucssfully. Thanks GM Igor Smirnov. You’re the best !
Also I find your videos have a good pace and a nice relaxed tone, and at the same are highly informative (and sometimes funny)

e5 wins a piece
At this rate bro has 1000 secret and favorite opening

Good point!
What about Qg6@@ZDTF
I love to play the Stonewall as white, and this is quite similar in structure with the aggressive f-pawn move, so thumbs up on this video.
Could you please do a video on dutch sidelines, such as Raphael variation, hopton attack, staunton gambit etc. 🙏I would greatly appreciate it!🙏
Wow thank you very much igor❤️🔥

Could you make a Playlist with all dutch defense videos ? It's a bit hard to find them in your uploads
Could you also make a video about the same system where white second move is fianchetto the light square bishop on g2
I struggle when they do it
I love the thumbnail!

e5 threatening the bishop. Then after the bishop retreats, black can move the pawn forward once more to e4 forking the knight and bishop

Dutch Defense set up was easy for me to learn because it's pretty much the opposite version of Bird's Opening as white.
Thank you very much
Igor....You need to make a chessable course.
What do I do vs early a3 or Catalan setup or Bg5 setups.
Want video on Dutch defence vs London system as black perspective
This thumbnail just killing me! 😂
So what do we do if white plays the london system or anything that doesnt put the knight out for us to pin?
Be7 idea or go for a g6 setup called the Leningrad Dutch
Is daily puzzle ...Nc5 and if takes then e5 Bg3 e4? And if not then we plant on e4 and enjoy the outpost?
Skip Nc5 and play e5 immediately. You win a piece.
for me if they do e4 then do the sicilian then if d4 then dutch defence
basically the nimzo indian with ne4 but a different move order
thought the exact same thing
Simon Williams is back ? He becamed GM with this system.
Queen h5 is not a bad move since after pawn h4 and en passant it would be a force checkmate
I was getting beat bad by d4 this morning this is perfect
On that your first black opening on this video, how if white castle on queen side??.. will you answer that for me sir ❤
Is the solution to the puzzle e5?
This is my weapon from now on.😎
Answer should be
Qg6, e4
fxe4, Bxe4
Bxe4, Qxe4
Nxe4
The idea is after moving the black queen to g6, the white knight is essentially pinned as it is blocking the essential g2 square. Thus the only defense after Qg6 is using the e pawn to defend. And black will win if they trade at the e4 square
What if Qe2?
@@finwasfound after Qg6 you can play Bg3 fortifying the kings position

How to play Dutch vs londond system?
“Knight-mare”. I like it.
There are many different moves from white and this system will not work. White can play Staunton gambit (2. e4) or immediatelly 2. Bg5 or 2. g3 with fianchetto of bishop to g2 etc. or solid system against Dutch with 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg5.
Seems this is highly dependent on late development of the dark-squared bishop. This sort of king's side attack is much more difficult to execute against the London System.
1. d4 f5 2. Bg5 and Black does not get anything resembling the usual Dutch schemes, and White still maintains his first move initiative
The Staunton gambit is really dangerous tho.
what if opponent put pwn a3 before you pin the knight?
What tô do IF White plays d5, closing the diagonal?

2.g3 prevents Black from fianchettoing the queen's bishop ánd from developing the king's bishop to b4.
In that case I think this system could easily turned into the stonewall.
Sure - but that's an entirely different beast. And Black won't win 90% games with it.
