Leningrad Dutch: Simplified Chessable

It Defies Logic… Rips Up the Rulebook… and
Outfights White with a Headstrong F-Pawn!

Leningrad Dutch: Simplified is a disruptive repertoire for Black against 1.d4, 1.c4, and 1.Nf3. It flies in the face of old opening principles — dares White to do something about it — and guides you to an advantage with 25 years of hard-earned knowledge!

Best part?

The Leningrad Dutch is undodgeable!

That’s because it immediately unbalances the game with 1…f5, while staking its claim in the center.

Next, it prepares the kingside for action with 2…Nf6, 3…g6, and 4…Bg7 — tucks your king to safety — and starts a crisis before White can settle down.

The Leningrad Dutch’s main tabiya:
…e7-e5! gains space with mean intentions, while
setting up tactics along the long diagonal

We’re less than 10 moves in. But the tactics are already brewing, and the tension is rising!

Which is why you’ll love the way Arturs Neiksans unravels this opening.

Neiksans is a peak-2631-rated grandmaster… a 4-time Latvian champion… and a Leningrad Dutch specialist with over 25 years of experience.

In over 1,000 games, he pushed the f-pawn without fear against all comers — including world championship contenders.

And inside the Leningrad Dutch: Simplified, Neiksans distills his hard-won knowledge into…

A Combative, Compact Repertoire
versus 1.d4, 1.c4, and 1.Nf3

It contains only 162 MoveTrainer® variations — the “right” variations.

They contain not only Neiksans’ precise analysis… but also the unique positional ideas and tactics that define the Leningrad Dutch.

So when you drill the lines with MoveTrainer, you improve both your move-by-move recall and understanding of the opening.

From the starting position above, watch Neiksans take over all 3 areas of the board slowly but surely…

Total board control! Centralized knights,
looming kingside break, plus a potential
exchange sac on the queenside

Or execute some of the most outlandish yet most effective attacking maneuvers you’ll ever see!

attack against White’s strongest moves

Over 12 hours of video also highlight the logic-defying ideas which make the Leningrad Dutch a formidable weapon.

You’ll see:

The weird back-and-forth dance which preserves your bishops. So you can aim them straight at White’s queenside.

Tactics are waiting to happen on the dark squares, while
the white pawns can’t move because of …Bxc4

Knight on the rim, the future is dim? Not this multipurpose steed! This knight protects the king from diagonal attacks… stops dangerous pawn breaks… and prepares an ambitious “land grab” in the center.

This …Nh6 maneuver will be your new
weapon against many Anti-Dutch lines

The anti-positional exchange, which leaves you with a “tall pawn” on c8… and a vise-grip on the light squares.

Plus many more.
