The book which you have in front of you is similar in style to the work on the French. It seeks to increase the student’s knowledge of the ideas behind the opening and to acquaint them with the various tactical motifs characteristic of this aggressive defense. What makes Nikolay’s work different from most books on the openings is that it seeks to impart this knowledge in a pleasurable fashion through the use of miniature games instead of dry theoretical lines. Through the use of games that conjure up the idea of crime and punishment the reader is able to develop a feel for the opening. Does this book cover every line of the Dutch? No, but such a work would be huge, and furthermore how many players below the master level are consistently in mainline theory game after game. Not many! This book can be read with benefit by those who play the Dutch, open 1. d4, want to improve their tactics and or just enjoy playing through short, snappy games that often feature a clever twist at the end.
