Dutch A80-A85 CD

In the third and final part of his trilogy about the Dutch, Boris Schipkov turns his attention to the less important lines. But some of them could well be considered main lines, since they are played by respected Grandmasters and since the statistics are excellent from the point of view of White. For example 2.Nc3, White immediately begins to fight for the advance e2-e4. Or 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3, which is encountered so often in praxis that it can hardly be called a sub variation. The author treats all lines with great thoroughness. All are preceded by a text in which Schipkov presents the underlying strategic ideas of the variation in question and refers to the relevant model games.
