Valeri Beim
The Leningrad System of the Dutch Defence is an interesting hybrid of the Dutch and the King's Indian. For many years, it was viewed with some suspicion in view of the slight positional weaknesses created in Black's position. However, in the 1980s dynamic new approaches were introduced by such players as Sergei Dolmatov, Evgeny Bareev, Mikhail Gurevich and especially Vladimir Malaniuk. These players showed how an active approach could compensate for these defects, and offer Black excellent winning chances. Since then, the Leningrad has been a popular and effective opening choice for players of all levels. This book offers an up-to-date, detailed analysis of the theory of the Leningrad Dutch based around games which typify some important aspect of the defence. Beim considers 1.Nf3, f5; and 1.d4, f5; examining various side-lines before moving on to the critical 7..c6 and 7..Qe8 variations. He also includes a set of "homework" exercises based around standard ideas in the Leningrad System. He offers a balanced coverage with ideas for both sides. Valeri Beim is a grandmaster who lives in Austria. For many years, he was the head trainer at the chess school in Odessa.

The Stonewall Dutch is a traditional favourite amongst club players, as it offers Black ready-made attacking plans on the kingside. As Grandmaster Bent Larsen has noted, the Dutch also has the tendency to 'bring out the coward' in opponents, giving it an added practical sting.
However, up until the late 1980s, the Stonewall wasn't fully trusted at grandmaster level, despite its earlier use by Alekhine and Botvinnik. Black's attacking plans were too one-sided, and White's methods too well worked out. The change came when a new generation of players, including Nigel Short and Simen Agdestein, showed that Black could handle his position in many other ways, including play on the queenside and in the centre, with the 'Stonewall' structure stifling White's attempts to generate play of his own. Agdestein in particular has continued to experiment with many new set-ups and move-orders for Black, and this book contains a wealth of new recommendations and suggestions based on this work.
In sixteen chapters the authors show, with a mixture of theory and annotated games, some of the best ideas for Black against White's various opening set-ups. All the main lines are covered as well as non-fianchetto systems, anti-Dutch systems and lines with 1.c4, 1.Nf3 and 1.g3.
The authors are all from Norway. Sverre Johnsen is an enthusiastic chess analyst, researcher, organizer and writer, and co-author of Win with the London System, one of the most popular openings books of recent years. Ivar Bern is a Correspondence World Champion and an International Master over-the-board. Grandmaster Simen Agdestein was for many years Norway's leading player, and also achieved fame for combining his chess activities with a career as a top-level professional footballer.
