An Active Repertoire against 1.d4, 1.c4, 1.Nf3

GM Vladimir Malaniuk has been the main driving force behind the Leningrad Dutch Variation for decades. He has found many original plans which turned this branch of the Dutch into an active and dangerous weapon. White cannot enter dull and boring positions even if he insists on this. Therefore, it is often used when Black wishes to play for a win, particularly in decisive games. The book also offers a repertoire against 1.c4 and 1.Nf3.

GM Malaniuk was a regular participant of the Soviet championships between 1983 and 1991 and three-time Ukrainian champion. He has two Olympic medals with Ukraine. IM Marusenko is a professional journalist and editor.
