Slav, Semi-Slav, or the Dutch?

I just don't like the Slav for forced draws that I perceive and I don't like facing the Larsson Gambit in the Dutch. My mind may be persuaded. 

Semi-Slav or Triangle Slav.

Never heard of any Larsson Gambit, so that shouldn't be a real problem?

If your problem is how to win against a White player satisfied with a draw, then you should probably go for the most unbalanced position, wich often come from the Dutch or the Indian systems.

But if White dont want to play any Black opening will face problems. But then you will have the middlegame :-).

Both Slav and Semi-Slav are good. Dutch is dubious. There are no forced draws at your level.

dutch with 1. e6 or 1.g6

Whatever you are calling the Larsson gambit can be avoided with move order.

1.d4 e6 and now:

2.e4 d5 is the French Defense

2.c4 f5 or 2.Nf3 f5 or 2.Bf4 f5 and you are in a Dutch, which is NOT dubious as one fool previous said, and you have avoided the Gambit lines (Staunton Gambit and Poisoned-Spike) and avoided 2.Bg5 and 2.Nc3. The 2.Nc3 Dutch is avoided as you play 2...d5 against 2.Nc3 leading to the French (3.e4) or Jobava Attack (3.Bf4).

Only the Leningrad Dutch is dubious as you king has no safe haven.

Dutch is not dubious, I think what you mean to say is it has fallen out of favour with most gms.

Leningrad is DEFINITELY dubious, but yes the Nimzo-Dutch, QIDutch, Classical, and Stonewall are all only as unsound as the Mar del Plata KID.

Rapport still actually plays the Stonewall Dutch via transposition against the Catalan (1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. g3 Ne4! 4. Nf3 f5 5. Bg2 d5)

Personally I’m a massive fan of the Semi-Slav, not for myself as it’s impossible to find opponents who’ll play it, but just in general. It’s a fascinating opening, probably the single best try against d4 for Black, and leads to some of the most interesting and sharp chess in chess.

Sounds interesting. How do you use that boring ahh setup to make a fun game?

Variations like the above. Just like any defense, there’s some slower, more positional play (5. e3 Nbd7 6. Qc2 Bd6), but there’s even more stuff, like 5. Bg5 h6, and the Meran specifically (5. e3 Nbd7 6. Bd3 dxc4 7. Bxc4 b5) is interesting and and complex enough to merit its own opening.

Dutch IS dubious, that is why it has fallen out of favour with most GMs.

"Leningrad is DEFINITELY dubious"
++ Leningrad is the least dubious of the Dutch.

I personally like the semi slav because it's a bit more aggressive than the regular slav, and easy to play. Dutch is also interesting and aggresive.

hopton attack is a refutation for the dutch
