• chess slowrun
• positional chess strategy
• Chess.com rating climbing

What it concludes

• Below 2200 rating, about 90 percent of games in the Dutch defense go d4, c4, knight c3, and knight c3 is slightly inaccurate.
• The best way to play the Dutch defense is to play g3 and knight f3 before committing e6 so that knights are not pinned on d2.
• A queen trade greatly improves chances of surviving an attack in complex positional endgames.
• Attacking in chess is much easier than defending.
