Then Blacks kingside fianchetto, which defines the Leningrad Dutch, allows pawn-storming play in similar style to the Kings 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 kings bishop these lines are the critical test of the Leningrad. The companion volume, Dutch Sidelines, completes Blacks Dutch repertoire.
