Studies In The Dutch Defense - Chess Lecture - Volume 106

Content: 2.4 hours of instruction and analysis in a series of 6 lectures.

With GM Jesse Kraai, GM Eugene Perelshteyn, IM John-Paul Wallace, LM Dana Mackenzie, and IM David Vigorito.

The Dutch Defense was employed regularly in the past by Alekhine, Larsen, Morphy and Najdorf. The high-water mark for the Defense occurred in 1951, when both Mikhail Botvinnik, the world champion, and his challenger, David Bronstein, played it in their World Championship match. Not found as often in modern games, but regularly used successfully by GM Hikura Nakamura.
