## Description

Killer Dutch [Williams, Simon] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Killer Dutch

Review: Thorough, instructive, and fun - I wanted an alternative to the stodgy Slav that I've been playing for years, and this book is exactly what I needed to start playing something more exciting. I own two other books on the Dutch, but this is on a different level. Williams is a gifted teacher and explains at length the key strategic ideas for both sides in all of the main variations. He doesn't expect you to remember reams of theory, but rather provides numerous tips and rules of thumb that will help you find the right plan in virtually any position. Additionally, he doesn't just focus on the variations that GMs play, but presents ideas against White openings like the Colle and the London that are rarely seen at professional level, but very common at the amateur level. The book is not only a treatise on how to play the Classical Dutch, but also a look into how top players think about chess and about opening strategy. The games are lively and interesting, and Wiliams's adventurous spirit shines through. He offers the Classical Dutch as a way to unleash your chess creativity, and leads by example. So the book is not just instructive, but a lot of fun. Highly recommended!
Review: This is a good one. Along with GM Simon Williams' companion piece ... - As a former Chess Life Editor, I know a little bit about chess books. This is a good one. Along with GM Simon Williams' companion piece Attacking Chess: The French Defense, this can become a weight-bearing pillar in a complete 1...e6 opening repertoire. I've played the Leningrad Dutch and the French for years. 1...e6 can serve as a pivot between anti-1 e4..., 1. d4..., 1.c4..., and even 1. Nf3... systems. In The Killer Dutch, Williams has convinced me to shift my own repertoire toward a unified 1...e6/1...f5/e6 approach. Fat book, instructive games, convincing argument. Well worth the investment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book The Killer Dutch
*by A***S on May 6, 2015*

Simon Williams made a CD also entitled The Killer Dutch, which is very good. This a thorough book on the Classical Dutch. There are some helpful lines that were not in the CD, but there also is repetition. I prefer a book to a CD and I often play the Dutch Defense so it was an easy decision to buy this book. And the writing and physical quality of the book is quite good. If you own the CD and only have a modest interest in the Dutch Defense, then you might think twice about buying the book. Finally, besides the Classical Dutch, there are a few Chapters on anti-Dutch strategies such as non-fianchetto variations for White. Looking back over the review, I think that I should again emphasize that Simon Williams has done an excellent job writing this book. He proposes a series of rules so if you do not remember the opening line, you can use the rules. There also are some exercises to check your understanding of each chapter.
