Oh, I think any Dutch would be really bad unless you could somehow transpose into the Leningrad variation from a completely different opening.  I think that after 2.f4, they might as well call the game a draw.

Well, if you mean that 1.d4 f5 .2. f4 is easy drawn, I strongly disagree.

Black plays e6,Nf6,Be7,b6,Bb7,c5,0-0,Nc6 etc for a pretty unbalanced game.

I have also noticed that Rybka scored best after 1. f4 in knight odds games vs. Crafty.

I don't think black can make much progress with that setup against white setting up c3, Nf3, g3 & Bg2, and possibly e3 if the long diagonal gets blocked.  White is a bit behind in development, but I don't see this as a problem--the position seems quite blockaded.  I certainly wouldn't play it, but I would think that someone of Benjamin's strength wouldn't have too great of a problem with it against a computer.
