The Dutch Defense-All Out War!
When Black plays 1... f5 his intentions are clear, he wants to win. It's also no surprise that in do-or-die games, such as the critical last round, this defense against the Queen's Pawn comes out of the coffin and the player with the white pieces must be ready for him as one false step can lead to a game which is over almost before it started. You are treated to 202 miniatures (game moves number twenty five or less) involving great players throughout the 20th century. You are shown where one of the players went wrong and how to "fix" it (new and forgotten ideas).
IM Nikolay Minev showed us the way in his French Defense, New and Forgotten Ideas. With the help of friend IM John Donaldson the two have forged another book of tactical delights designed to keep you alert and winning more games.
Minev resides in Seattle while Donaldson runs the Mechanics Institute's chess activities in San Francisco. Both have authored or edited many fine books for chess libraries everywhere.

Eigentlich müsste das Buch eher „Fallen und Kurzpartien in der Holländischen Verheißen, denn ein echtes Theoriebuch ist es ganz sicher nicht. Es enthält 200 Kurzpartien mit Fast-Food-Charakter: meist nur leicht komdas Hinterfragen kritischer Stellen oder auch längere Erklärung positioneller Aspekte wird in der Regel vermieden. Entsprechend ist auch die Verteilung der Partien: etwa zur LeninHauptvariante (7...De8) gibt es gerade mal vier Beispiele, zu jeder halbwegs gängigen Nebenvariante (2. Sc3, 2. Lg5) dagegen wesentlich mehr und zum guten alten Staunton-Gambit (das auf höherer Ebene kaum noch angewandt wird, aber jede Menalter Kurzpartien zu bieten hat) so42. Es wundert daher auch nicht, dass die älteren Partien deutlich in der Mehrzahl sind (nach flüchtiger Zähmehr als zwei Drittel vor 1990), und auch so manche längst bekannten Repertoirestücke sind wieder einmal dabei - etwa das achtzügige Matt nach 2.Lg5 h6 3.Lh4 g5 4.Lg3 f4 usw. oder der Evergreen Ed. Lasker - Tho(Damenopfer auf h7 und Matt des schwarzen Königs auf g8, der schreckliche 13-Züger Grünfeld - Torre anno 1925, die Glanzpartie Glücks- Najdorf und so weiter. Eine Bevon Weiß oder Schwarz ist übrigens nicht zu erkennen; es gibt Material für beide Seiten. Insgesamt vielleicht geeignet für Spiedie im Schnellverfahren einen Voran Tricks und Ideen sammeln wolmit denen vor allem schwächere Gegner aufs Kreuz zu legen sind; für höhere Ansprüche jedoch entschieden zu wenig.
