Dangerous Weapons: The Dutch: Dazzle Your Opponents! (Everyman Chess Series)
reviewed on + 12 more book reviews


Richard Palliser is a a thorough author and player but GM Simon Kim Williams is so much more. Just listen to one of his videos, it is like watching one of those musicians, such as Jimi Hendrix, and enjoying the power of their personality.

Williams played for and against the Dutch, some of his ideas for the Dutch and against it, got this low level B into trouble, due to my own lack of flexbility and knowledge, but always in good fun.

An interesting addition to the repertoire of a d4 player. If you know how to tackle the Dutch and KID, you have half the job done on amateur levels and this book was helping me until I switched back to e4.
