Here is a dutch game of mine: 1. d4 f5 2. c4 Nf6 3. Nc3 d6 4. Bg5 Nbd7 5. e3 h6 (forcing the exchange or gaining kingside sace with Bh4,g5) 6. Bxf6 Nxf6 7. Nd5 e5 (Hoping for Nxd5, but I rather create my own play) 8. dxe5 dxe5 9. Nxf6+? Qxf6 (Nxf6+ was a mistake, I went on to win without trouble) 10. Nf3 e4 11. Nd4 Bb4+ (ALWAY'S hinder the opponent's ability to castle while white can do nothing about it, as no knight or pawn can go to c3) 12. Ke2 []O-O (castling is forced in order not to be down on material) 13. Qa4 c5 14. Nc2 Qxb2 15. a3 f4 16. axb4 Rd8 ( I contemplated deeply as to "is this sound? It lead to forced mate so it turn's out it was) 17. Qa2 Qc3 18. Rd1 f3+ 19. gxf3 exf3+ 20. Kxf3 Qf6+ 21. Ke2 Bg4+ 0-1 and white resigned, seeing mate in two.
