Viktor Moskalenko defuses (White) set-ups without d2-d4
After
we reach the starting position of our survey. Black has made the classical Dutch Stonewall moves, while White hasn't committed himself yet as to his d- and b-pawn. Here I would like to share my experience against the plans with
6.d3 (English style) or
6.b3 (Réti style), i.e. without d2-d4. These may sometimes transpose. Since White's play is initially more obvious, I had to look for new ideas for Black. So in practice I have achieved very good results from this position (see database!), mainly due to a good understanding of the plans for both sides. Therefore, I would recommend you to trace the evolution of the development of different options.
