  • Dutch Defence

    The Dutch Defence is a chess opening characterised by the moves:


    History

    Elias Stein (17481812), an Alsatian who settled in The Hague, recommended the defence as the best reply to 1.d4 in his 1789 book Nouvel essai sur le jeu des échecs, avec des réflexions militaires relatives à ce jeu.

    Siegbert Tarrasch rejected the opening as unsound in his 1931 work The Game of Chess, arguing that White should reply with the Staunton Gambit, with White being better after 2.e4 fxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 c6 5.f3! exf3.

    Theory

    Black's 1... f5 stakes a serious claim to the e4 square and looks towards an attack on White's kingside in the middlegame. However, it weakens Black's own kingside somewhat, and does nothing to contribute to Black's development. The Dutch is rare in top-level play. It has never been one of the main lines against 1.d4, though in the past a number of top players, including Alexander Alekhine, Bent Larsen, Paul Morphy and Miguel Najdorf, have used it with success. Perhaps its high-water mark occurred in 1951, when both world champion Mikhail Botvinnik and his challenger, David Bronstein, played it in their World Championship match in 1951. Among the world's current top 10 players, its only consistent practitioner is Hikaru Nakamura.

    My Bad

    by: I15

    [I15:]
    Uh check this out ma,
    Look I didn't mean to hurt you,
    But I thought we had an understanding about how it's gonna be,
    You know, (Yeaah Mann!)
    You roll through or I roll through, (F to the A-B)
    And we just do what we do,
    You know what I'm saying, (I-15)
    I ain't looking for no relationship,
    But I'm goin ahead let my boy Fab holla at you...
    [Fabolous:]
    Yeah, this is real talk,
    I told you there was others,
    Now we go to war like soldiers with each other,
    I'm trying to let it go not hold you like a lover,
    See I'm simply P-I-M-P,
    So I gotta stable-a chicks,
    Unable to pick,
    A babe I can lick out,
    And I be labelled a trick,
    If you down you can roll and if you not you can stroll,
    It's just that easy,
    When F-A-B's here...
    [I15:]
    Girl you got it twisted,
    You already know how I get down,
    Now you out here trippin',
    On some sh*t that we already talked about,
    I just want to hit it,
    And you said that was cool with you,
    Now you here crying to me,
    Saying you want to be with a player like me,
    That ain't cool...
    [Chorus: I15]
    My bad, didn't mean you to make you want it like that,
    And I hang up, and you call me right back,
    It's like you don't even know how to act, (What's going on...)
    My bad, baby girl we barely even friends,
    I just like to smash it now and then,
    Now you got me scared to hit it again,
    [I15:]
    Now I don't mean to hurt you,
    But it's not like you didn't know,
    From the beginning,
    Now you saying that you can't stand to be without me,
    Now girl you talking crazy,
    I'm not trying to deal with you,
    Gonna keep it real with you,
    Shorty I don't want to be with you...
    [Chorus: I15]
    My bad, didn't mean you to make you want it like that,
    And I hang up, and you call me right back, (Back...)
    It's like you don't even know how to act, (What's going on...)
    My bad, baby girl we barely even friends, (Friends...)
    I just like to smash it now and then,
    Now you got me scared to hit it again, (Yeah...)
    [Fabolous:]
    Now you know I come through every now and then,
    To see how you been couple of thou' to spend,
    But you knows how it goes,
    Girls act like you suppose to propose... After a month,
    But I choose to refuse,
    I'm the kind of the man that do's what I choose,
    Whenever I want,
    And it's never to front,
    It's just to let you know,
    It's cheaper to keep her,
    I'll still will let you go, girl...
    [I15:]
    I've lost my patience,
    With these ultimatums,
    Tryin' to lock me down like incarceration,
    I don't cuff 'em when I grab 'em,
    I thug them with the passion,
    Still running from the last one,
    They tugging on my ass clip,
    I don't what it is, I'm cool on that "Might Be" tip,
    I ain't Damon, I'm too young for a wife and kids,
    I kick it "if we", like Vivica and 50,
    Like Fab said simply, we P-I-M-P...
    [Chorus x2: I15]
    My bad, didn't mean you to make you want it like that,
    And I hang up, and you call me right back,
    It's like you don't even know how to act,
    My bad, baby girl we barely even friends,
    I just like to smash it now and then,
