Dutch Defense: Hopton Attack

Initial Position

After 1.d4 f5, White plays 2.Bg5, the Hopton Attack, immediately pinning Black's knight and creating pressure on the kingside. This aggressive approach aims to disrupt Black's development and create tactical opportunities. White seeks to exploit Black's early f5 move and gain the initiative through active piece play.
