The Leningrad Dutch. Sharp, Uncompromising, and Built to Win.

Bent Larsen once said the Dutch Defence brings out "the chicken" in a lot of opponents. IM Andrew Martin makes a compelling case for why the Leningrad System — with its early King's Bishop fianchetto and the provocative 1...f5 — is the ideal opening for players who embrace risk and play to win.

The Leningrad is not for the faint-hearted. Black's first move unbalances the position immediately, leading to sharp, difficult play where both sides must fight hard. But that's exactly the point — and Martin shows you how to handle it.

What This Course Covers (4h 10min):

• The core ideas and structures of the Leningrad System
• How to handle White's most challenging responses
• The psychological edge of playing 1...f5 — and why opponents often go wrong
• Practical, competitive games demonstrating the Leningrad in action

A Fritz Trainer video course — 4 hours 10 minutes of instruction on one of Black's most fighting responses to 1.d4.

Play to win. Embrace the risk. The Leningrad Dutch — the opening for fighters.
