The English-Dutch Defence is a clone of English Opening, but very strange one. Sometimes the name is in many ECO classification "other". After typical English Opening set up : 1/ c4 e5 2/ Nc3 is f5 second move of Black is shocking or perhap a joke for White. It is a minority Defence, but as you see in the Theory table and games no one can find the right way out. Report is made from games after 1960 and it has only 202 games, but it is still played nowadays perhaps not at the TOP level. This type of opeining is suitable for the club level where it's the right place for this experiment - half English and half Dutch /cat-dog/. You can see how players find the way from this curious situation.
