Originally posted by AudreyxSophieit think you probably should take the pawn, but unless you're prepared for the consequences d5 seems safer, especially before Nf6 (like in the normal 1.d4 f5 2.g4? fxg4 3.h3 gambit). although d6 looks even better to me, as white doesn't have the c3-c4 break nor the follow-up Nc3 typical to most gambit lines against dutch, and black gets e5 in early which is usually very nice.
But we are dutch devetee, we are goign to push the f5 pawn even if you think it is very bad or a crime agaisn't humanity.
I believe a d5 should be good, why taking the pawn anyway ?
it looks a bit tricky, but probably black should be fine. megadatabase 2007 doesn't have a single game for 1.c3 f5 2.h3 though, so I wonder if I'm missing something blindingly obvious which simply kills white?
as a sidenote, I just love it when people play the e4 & g4 sacs against my leningrad. they're my bread & butter. often something like this happens:
slow, miserable suffocation. 🙂
