Leningrad Dutch Defense - A81, A87-A89

 The Leningrad Dutch Defense is considered an aggressive opening in chess. It is a dynamic and tactical choice for Black, which involves fianchettoing the king’s bishop and controlling the center with pawns on d6 and e6. This opening allows Black to launch a counterattack on White’s position, often leading to a sharp and complex game.
