I hate playing against boring d4 players who don’t play anything fun like a JOBAVA London or a queens gambit or a Catalan when I play d5, so I wanted to switch it up to 1. Nf6. What helps is that I also play 1.Nf3 and so some of this is familiar to what I can get
I love when white plays d5 against my leningrad, you can usually play e5 and recapture with the bishop on d6 after en passant. Or you just leave the pawn on d5 blocking whites potential to attack on that weak diagonal. Just make sure there is no knight g5-e6 business by playing h6 as a prophalaxis
thank you artists great insights :)
Phenomenal discussion!
Nice explanation indeed as always, i couldnt find the queen's gambit, can we have it :D, for white!

corect
Nf6 is definitely less depressing than d5
With Leningrad Dutch, I get a position and then white plays d5 and suddenly I'm in a losing position :(
Then avoid that position. 😅
