  Dutch Stonewall
The Modern Stonewall Dutch (1.d4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 e6 4.c4 c6 followed by...Bd6) has proven to be a durable defense that offers white no more than a normal advantage while giving fl a decent hold on the center and reasonable counterchances.
The critical tries for white against this defense are presented, and the author has generally found the little nuances and developments that are most challenging to both sides.
The aspiring Dutch player wishing to use the 1.d4 f5 move order should know, however, that some of the key tries against the defense occur before this book picks up – lines like 2.Nc3, 2.Bg5, and 2.h3 will have to be learned elsewhere.

Godderij said that defense policy in the Netherlands is still largely based on a white paper published in 2000, which represents “a clear choice in favor of a single toolbox of capable modules, intended for use in both high and low intensity conflicts,” he said.

Dutch oven never struck me as having a derogatory origin either, but Facts on File claims that it derives from the idea of an economical [cheap man’s (person’s) oven] heavy kettle or brick oven [a la Dutch turnpike— a cheap road (as over marshy ground) made of logs and tree trunks)].
Along with "Dutch treat," which originally implied "cheap," other insults once popular included "Dutch courage" (liquor), "Dutch defense" (a retreat), "Dutch headache" (a hangover), "Do a Dutch" (commit suicide), "Dutch concert" (a drunken uproar), and "Dutch nightingale" (a frog, which seems an especially low blow).
DUTCH; DUTCH COURAGE, etc. The Dutch people have been so offended by the English language over the past three centuries that in 1934 their government decided to drop the word ‘Dutch’ and use ‘Netherlands’ whenever possible.

 Play the Classical Dutch
One of the advantages of this form of Dutch is that it is not played nearly as often as the Stonewall or Leningrad (characterized by fl’s fianchetto of the dark squared bishop) variations.
As a long-time Dutch player, these lines are not exactly cutting edge when it comes to white playing for an edge against the defense.
If you already play the Dutch as fl and are comfortable with the non-main line systems (or if you use the 1.d4 e6 move order and are willing to play something else after 2.e4), this is an excellent book with several useful choices for fl.

 Defense Tech: Dutch Counter-Flood Tech
Posted by: Niels at August 22, 2006 03:58 PM A project like the Dutch Delta works, which costed them about $8 billion dollars in the period of 1953 to 1997, is surely going to cost about triple that to apply similar engineering to Louisiana and Missisippi to protect New Orleans.
The Dutch on the other hand, having spared no expense built themselves a protection system that not only takes into account the threat of the elements, but also consecutive threats if the first defense fails.
