ReviewMoskalenko's explanations are understandable and convincing, his tips and recommendations show his great know-how and the reader always has the pleasant feeling that he is learning something new. -- Martin Rieger ― SchachweltThese days there is a tendency for books on the Dutch to touch only one system, here you have everything, and even with handy antidotes from White's point of view. There are plenty of themes and general strategy for more modest readers, as well as some cutting-edge theory which will challenge opponents of all standards. Books by Viktor Moskalenko are always great fun. They are the perfect medicine if you suffer from opening preparation blues! For anyone who comes into contact with the Dutch, a gem and a valuable one at that! -- Grandmaster Glenn Flear, author of Starting Out: Open GamesMoskalenko makes the book as user-friendly as possible, with little stories, highlighted tactics, transpositional subtleties and other helpful tidbits. A fascinating collection of analyses of the Dutch, and I can't imagine why any player using this opening would want to do without it. -- Dennis Monokroussos ― Chess TodayWith a plethora of new ideas, sparkling games and delivered in very enthusiastic style, The Diamond Dutch is a significant addition to the literature on 1.d4 f5. It is entirely accessible to players from improving club player standard upwards. Viktor Moskalenko is one of my favorite authors and I can happily recommend his latest book, which keeps up the very high standards of his previous volumes. ― Marshtower Chess ReviewsThose who have read Moskalenko before, know that he only writes about things he is a great expert in. This book will be of great value to many players. -- Lukas Wedrechowski ― dailychess.org
