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.

As such, it uses its own orthography of signs, symbols and formulae that helps to fathom its scientific nature, which was emphasized in Wilhelm Steinitz words:
Chess is a scientific game and its literature ought to be placed on the basis of the strictest truthfulness, which is the foundation of all scientific
