Editing Dutch Defence (section)

==Theory==
White most often [[fianchetto]]es the king's bishop with g3 and Bg2. Black also sometimes fianchettoes the king's bishop with ...g6 and ...Bg7 (the Leningrad Dutch), but may instead {{chessgloss|develop}} the bishop to e7, d6 (after ...d5), or b4 (the latter is most often seen if White plays c4 before [[castling]]). Play often runs 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 e6 4.Nf3 (4.Nh3{{chesspunc|!?}} is also possible, intending Nf4–d3 to control the e5-square) 4...Be7 5.0-0 0-0 6.c4 and now Black chooses between 6...d5 (the characteristic move of the Stonewall), 6...d6, the Ilyin–Zhenevsky Variation (less popular today), or Alekhine's move 6...Ne4!? retaining the option of moving the d-pawn either one or two squares.

The opening's attacking potential is shown in the [[Polish Immortal]], in which [[Miguel Najdorf]], using the Stonewall Variation, [[Sacrifice (chess)|sacrificed]] all of his {{chessgloss|minor pieces}} to win by [[checkmate]].
