In chess, White determines the initial trajectory of the game, giving Black an immediate disadvantage. Because of this, it can become difficult to prepare against all of White’s possible plans.

Also, with 1. d4 easily known as one of the most popular, yet complex, opening moves, it is important to solidify how you will respond. Many times, it can be a good idea to take your opponent away from the standard replies and into the sharper, lesser-used theory behind the Dutch.
