For a long time it was quite unpopular, although some top players occasionally used it as a reserve opening. However, the Dutch Defence, and particularly the Leningrad system, appeared more and more often in tournaments in the 1980s. This was due to the fact that, compared to many classical openings, the Dutch Defence in general, and the Leningrad system in particular, are much less heavily analysed. Unlike many other openings, the Leningrad rarely results in symmetrical positions leading to drawish endgames; play instead revolves around strategic situations in which creative solutions are required from both sides. This book has taken into account the opinion and practice of Mikhail Botvinnik and Mark Taimanov who greatly influeneced the development of the Leningrad system. A great deal of attention has also been paid to the games of grandmasters Mikhail Gurevich and Vladimir Malaniuk - the modem innovators of the Leningrad variation. Naturally all the important games of recent years are included. How should you read this book? Dear chess-friend, you should not take the analysis presented here as the final word but learning these ideas will help to develop your skills in understanding irregular positions. One should not concentrate on memorising every variation, although their importance should not be under­ estimated, but should instead learn the meaning of plans, themes and manoeuvres. After careful study the Leningrad system will be an invaluable addition to your repertoire, leading to dynamic positions with plenty of scope for original ideas. 1 Main Line with 7 ... tye8 1 d4 fS A 2 g3 4:)£6 8 dS (2) 3 ,Og2 g6 4 4:13 ,Og7 s o-o o-o 2 6 c4 d6 B !! 7 4Jc3 �e8 (f) 1 � J.��� � ?��f!:J�}--� w �.L·m.. w Il-L � w �.L�.. � � �1:� �:it�� -� � � �.
