Dutch Defence A90-A99

by Boris Schipkov. Choosing the Dutch Defence with the black pieces is a clear signal that you are willing to go for the full point. There are no such things as exchange variations or an early trade of queens. What's more, limited theoretical knowledge will get you along quite well here, for a change. What both parties do have to know in the Dutch Defence, however, is a couple of good ideas and manoeuvres - then a successful opening is guaranteed. On his CD Boris Schipkov deals with the variations in which Black plays e6, mainly the Stonewall (with d5) and the Iliin-Shenevsky Variation (with d6 and eventually e5). Defined by the pawn moves f5, e6 and d5, the Stonewall doesn't carry its name by chance. It can't be taken by storm, it is only by long siege that White might possibly make progress. Boris Schipkov's database contains more than 14,000 games, 300 of which annotated. 17 database texts feature introductions to the variations, furthermore, 57 sample games have been annotated by the author. A training database includes 20 games with 70 training tasks to check you freshly aquired knowledge.
