Definitly if you play white!
I played it many times as black with moderate succes in cc. Better results in OTB.
At least you decide the opening as black. That a small advantage in cc but more important in otb.

Originally posted by bot 6I think it is very sharp, and gives black good attacking chances.
my question is.
is the dutch defense strong?
For the most part, I would recomend playing the Leningrad lines, though if white does some dumb stuff, then the stonewall or classical lines can be handy.
