Libro en inglés

La Holandesa es una de las respuestas más ambiciosas contra 1.d4, pues con 1...f5 las negras generan juego complejo y asimétrico. Mihail Marin es el autor ideal para explicar las ideas estratégicas, así como las últimas tendencias en teoría. Las negras fianchetan su flanco de rey, lo que define a la holandesa Leningrado, permitiendo una avalancha de peones en estilo similar a la Defensa India de Rey. Este libro cubre las líneas donde las blancas también fianchetan su alfil rey (las variantes críticas para la Leningrado).

The Dutch is renowned as a fighting weapon against 1.d4, as 1...f5 immediately sets up an unbalanced struggle. Then Black’s kingside fianchetto, which defines the Leningrad Dutch, allows pawn-storming play in similar style to the King’s Indian Defence. Mihail Marin is the ideal author to explain both the strategic ideas and the latest theory. Leningrad Dutch covers lines where White also fianchettoes the king’s bishop – these lines are the critical test of the Leningrad. The companion volume, Dutch Sidelines, completes Black’s Dutch repertoire. Mihail Marin is a grandmaster from Romania. His previous books for Quality Chess have established him as one of the world’s finest chess authors. Praise for the author’s previous work: “Beautifully written and inspirational” GM Luke McShane “A typically lucid and thorough exposition from perhaps the most insightful and reliable chess author writing today.” GM Jonathan Rowson, New in Chess
