===Leningrad Variation=== In the Leningrad Variation of the Dutch Defence, Black fianchettos the dark-squared bishop. From g7, this bishop will not only be a good defender of the king, but also an active piece on the {{chessgloss|long diagonal}}. The game may proceed 1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.g3 g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.Nc3 0-0 6.Nf3 d6 7.0-0 Qe8. The g2-bishop helps protect White's king against Black's possible kingside aggression, and this bishop would possibly be blunted by the f5-pawn if it were instead to develop to d3. The opening code for the Leningrad Variation in the Dutch Defence is A87 to A89 in the ''[[Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings]]'' (''ECO'') classification system: * A87: Leningrad System * A88: Leningrad System with ...d6 and ...c6 * A89: Leningrad System with ...d6 and ...Nc6
