The Dutch: 2.Nf3 Nf6 (A80) is a notable Dutch variation, marked by the move Nf6. Traditionally favored by Simon Williams, this system emphasizes asymmetrical aggression.
Strategic Context: Diverging from the popular Dutch Defense (e5), this line chooses Nf6. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move exerts pressure on e4 and d5. Plans should focus on how to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: The strategic battle ahead will be defined by the struggle to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: -0.07), with a high probability of a draw.
