About this opening
The Fianchetto Attack (1.d4 f5 2.g3) is the reference positional reply against the Dutch: White develops the bishop to g2 to control the long diagonal, blunt Black's e4 outpost and prepare sound play in the center and on the queenside. It is regarded as one of the best weapons against the Dutch, denying Black the most direct attacking schemes.
