What's your open against Dutch Defense?

I play the english, so when the dutch is played I can continue with
g3, Bg2, Nf3 0-0, d3, Nc3 and e4 which I find to be quite effective.

Are you talking about me or the Dutch Defense? 😕

We need a rematch, Dutch.

I'd play the Sicilian, Philiador, or French 😉.

Dutch defence... 1.d4 f5

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Defence

"Black's 1... f5 stakes a serious claim to the e4 square and looks towards an attack on White's kingside in the middlegame. However, it weakens Black's own kingside somewhat, and does nothing to contribute to Black's development."

You've got it. 😉

EDIT: You're playing the maximum games for a non-subscriber. I guess not (for now). 😲

Exactly! My exact reply before I could even get to it. The Dutch brings no fear to the English player.

How about trying that against me? What do you say? 😏

As White, I like to play 1 d4 f5 2 Bg5. I usually follow up with 3 Bxf6 (if Black plays 2...Nf6, or course), surrendering the oft-praised bishop pair, but messing up Black's pawns.

I always play Dutch. From my point of view ...Nf6 (after Bg5) is a bad move. My respond is
2.Bg5 ...d6
3. ...Nd7
4. ...Ngf6
