| People who play the Dutch Defence are usually aiming for more than a draw.
This is particularly true of the Leningrad System (involving the moves f5 and g6
against 1.d4). The author is even of the opinion that this system is better than
the King’s Indian, because you have already achieved the pawn thrust f5. Under
A86 there are also variations in which Black plays 3...d6 and does not
necessarily follow up later with g6; these are also treated on the CD. In the
chapter “Strategic principles underlying the Leningrad System” the author
tackles various themes, such as, e.g., the e2-e4 breakout, which is quite often
preceded by b3 and Bb2 (or else Black has no difficulty playing e5). Another
theme is the “Queenside pawn attack”, frequently played in conjunction with an
early b2-b4. But, in general, the author is more concerned with the
possibilities for Black.
