Originally posted by wormwoodDanielson also seems to have added elements to the system. His "Polar Bear" is more than just 1. f4; it also includes the idea of playing g3, Bg2 O-O and working during the opening to set up e4 and e5. I think with the amount of work he's put into that opening and the fact that he's a GM, he's justified in renaming it.
well, it's reversed leningrad, or a bird, but as practically no theory exists for it, danielsen renamed it as 'polar bear'.
grrrr! 🙂

Originally posted by TalismanI wrote a pamphlet about two games I played against the Leningrad a few years ago. You can access the entire pamphlet--free--at http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/wulebgr/PDF/LeninDutch.pdf
What about somebody posting a game in the Lenningrad? it maybe very instructive.
I fancy mixing things up aginst 1.d4 myself.

Originally posted by sh76well, that's exactly why I called it a reversed leningrad (f4 Nf3 g3 Bg2 O-O e4), and noted that practically no theory exists for it. and that it is a bird, as opposed to the bird.

Originally posted by gaychessplayerAlright, reviving an old thread...
In blitz games, I've had fun with White playing the Staunton Gambit: 1 d4 f5 e4!?
I want to play e6 on my first move no matter e4 or d4.
If I play e6 first and want to go into a Dutch, I guess this limits me to the classical pretty much. Does anyone know of some good learning games or sites that help explain the classical Dutch? ( I want to play e6 first just to avoid all the fun gambits with white in the Dutch)
Thanks

Playing e6 on the first move doesn't limit you to the classical, you could play stonewall (although I like the classical better). I have a book by Jan Pinski on the classical dutch, great book. Also, you have to be prepared to play french, which is an opening people usually hate or love, nothing inbetween.
