A White repertoire against the Dutch Defense (1.d4 f5), based on an aggressive setup with an early Bg5 and gambit ideas. Written by Jan Boekelman and published by Thinkers Publishing in 2021.
After a theoretical introduction, the book is organized by Black’s reply and White’s follow-up across fourteen chapters, each with theory, illustrative games and typical plans:
- Part I: Black declines the gambit (2…e6 and 2…d6)
- Part II: Black’s alternative third moves, including 3…g6
- Part III: White’s sharp tries 4.g4 and 4.f3
- Parts IV and V: the main 4.Bg5 lines, including 4…e6, 4…c6 and the systems with an early …Nc6
Best for: White players who want a single, aggressive weapon against the Dutch without memorizing large amounts of theory. Club level and up.
