The basic position of the Leningrad system according to 3.… g7 – g6

Template: checkerboard / maintenance / new

The Leningrad system is a sub-variant of the Dutch Defense , an opening in the game of chess . The variant is classified in the ECO codes under the codes A86-A89.

For example, the Leningrad system is created according to the trains:

1. d2-d4 f7-f5
2. c2-c4 Ng8-f6
3. g2-g3 g7-g6

Black's build-up of the game can also be achieved by changing moves , if White continues with 3. Nb1 – c3 and 3. Ng1 – f3 or starts with immediate fianchetting with 2. g2 – g3.

The main characteristic of the Leningrad system is the fianchetto of the black king's bishop after g7, from where he exerts latent pressure on the center. If necessary, Black tries to push through e7-e5 in conjunction with d7-d6. Black's game is mostly set up on the kingside or in the center, which is particularly beneficial for Black if he can set up the pawn duo e5 and f5. This pawn duo becomes 4. Bf1 – g2 Bf8 – g7 5. Nb1 – c3 0–0 6. Ng1 – f3 d7 – d6 7. 0–0 Nb8 – c6 8. d4 – d5 Nc6 – e5 9. Nf3xe5 d6xe5 achieved indirectly.

Well-known chess masters who used or are using this defense are Viktor Korchnoi , Milorad Knežević , Sergei Dolmatow , Michail Gurewitsch , Vladimir Kramnik (at a young age). Among the top German players, these are Stefan Kindermann , Christopher Lutz and Romuald Mainka .
