Preface
The Polar Bear is a system for players
who like interesting and original
positions without being too concerned
about proving a theoretical advantage. In
many of the variations the positional
themes and plans are of more importance
than actual move orders.
Our system starts after 1.f4 (the Bird
opening) and then fianchetto of the
Kings, Bishop. A mirror image of the
Leningrad Dutch. The system is a hybrid
combination of the strategically complex
King’s Indian and Dutch defences.
By playing the Polar Bear, we make
it difficult for Black to play for a flat
equality. We want a potent, fighting game
with a “full board”. I do not understand
why the Dutch defence 1.d4 f5 is
considered an aggressive opening, but the
Bird 1.f4 d5 not. It doesn’t seem logical.
I will let the veracities speak for
themselves and show you a strong and
fascinating system.
I have spent 15 years developing the
Polar Bear System. I know it inside out.
However I have to warn you: The Polar
Bear System is difficult to handle! Indeed
I have turned every stone in the system
and lost many games doing so. Since
there is no theory of importance, I had
to work hard. I read everything about the
Dutch defence and used the ideas with
reversed colours. Therefore the theory in
this book, was mainly created through my
own games and analysis. I have played
thousands of games online, trying to
discover the very essences of the system.
Many of the games were of poor quality,
so I had to select the cream. And turn the
cream into a repertoire book. Omitting
lines in which I do not believe. The
project turned out to be too substantial for
one book, so I had to split it up in two
books.
I would like to thank my partner Arora
Hronn Skuladottir, for helping me turn
the Polar Bear System into a book. She
is a multitasker! Computer typesetting,
creating the cover, proof reading, photos
and final preparation. Without her help, it
would have been difficult.
Nevertheless here is Volume 1 of the
Polar Bear System, with a full covering
of the main lines in 1.f4 d5.

White’s strategy.
The advance e2 -e4. This is the idea
behind the system. We want to expand in
the centre. After dxe4, dxe4 we have an
advantages type position. We do not mind
to exchanging Queens.
(See Fischer game). If black keep the
tension, then we expand with e4 -e5
again, with an advantages type position.
(See Nigel Davies handle the endgame
and I the attack).
If Black answer e2 -e4 with e7-e5, then
the advance f4 -f5 potentially opens the f-
file and frees the Bc1 to a full diagonal.
This trust may be supported by… Nh4 or
even played as an outright sacrifice. We
only answer e7 -e5 with f4xe5, if we gain
an advantage or see ourselves forced to
do it! We do not allow Black to create a
bind with d5 -d4. Our backward pawn on
e2 must move to e4.
One bad backward pawn can destroy
the whole army. Our trouble piece is Bc1,
as it can be difficult to find a good job for
it. The diagonal a7 -g1 has been weaken.
Be careful. Do not allow tactics on the
diagonal a7 -g1!
What are Black’s plans? To create a
bind with d5 -d4 and open the e-file and
put pressure on the backward pawn - e2.
Black would also like to expand on the
Queenside. We cannot prevent the Q-side
expansion, so we ignore it by imposing
our own expansion, but in the centre!
Let us talk about the Queen. You must
only put her on e1 if forced, or if it is
good move. The plan with Qe1, h3- g4
and Qh4 is too slow. Been there, done
that. The Queen belongs on c2 or a4 to
support the push e2 -e4. The c3 pawn
does a great job to restrict Nc6 and Bg7
and opens the diagonal d1- a4 for the
Queen! The square d3 has been weaken
in the process. The strong and the weak
produce the one!
(All this is covered in the study
material)
Black has played many different moves
at this point. We will examine these, in
turn:
A 8...d4
We play 9.e4! dxe3
After 9...e5 we acquire a great game
with 10.Nc4 or 10.cxd4, followed by
Nc4 and 9...dxc3 10.bxc3, which leaves
White with the better centre. 10.Bxe3
Because of White`s time advantage,
Black is under pressure. He has to protect
the c5 pawn, if 10...Bf5 then 11.Re1
Qxd3 12.Bxc5 with joy. 10...b6 11.Ne5!
Nxe5 We do not capture on a8. It is not
good. 12.fxe5 and then after 12...Nd5
13.Bf2! followed with 14.d4! is strong.
E.g. 13...Bxe5? 14.d4 cxd4 15.Bxd4 and
Black has a hard time to survive.
B 8...Re8
9.Nh4! A move typical for the Polar
Bear tactics. We are ready for a Kingside
attack! We ignore Black`s plan by
imposing our own! Now 9...e5 is playing
into our hands. Nh4 has also made e4
possible.
C 8...b6
Black protects the vulnerable QB§ and
prepares to fianchetto his second Bishop
to neutralize our Bg2.
9.Qa4! Designed to support e2-e4 from
the side. My gain with this move is good.
D 8...Bg4
Black might play BxN followed by
e7-e5 or Qd7 and Bh3.
9.Qc2! Here the Queen is well placed
and supports the thematic e2-e4 move.
E 8...Bf5
If left undisturbed, the Bishop prevents
e4. However, the Bishop is a target that
White can exploit for his attack.
F 8...Qc7
This is another way in which Black can
support e7-e5.The downside of 8...Qc7
is that the Queen may be attacked by a
timely Nb5 or Bf4.
G 8...a6
Is too slow, and if the move b5-b4 is
made later on, then Black doesn’t have
the a6 square for Bc8.
H 8...Rb8
Intending an advance of the QN§ to
exploit White´s backward Q-side
development and keeping the a6 square
free for Ba6.
9.Ne5! Here we have no time to prepare
e2-e4 with Qc2.

In Conclusion…
This last part is intended to tie up a few
loose ends.
1. f2-f4 is the Bird opening. Played by
Henry Bird in 1873.This got him out of
the books and created unique positions.
The Polar bear system is 1.f2-f4
followed by the fianchetto of the
Kingside Bishop.
My intention was to write only one
book but the material was extended, so I
had to split it up in two or more books.
I did my best and I hope you will
continue the exploration of the system in
upcoming books. Where I will finish 1.f4
d5 and continue with 1.f4 e5 the From´s
gambit.
Finally, I would like to wish all readers
joy and success with the Polar Bear
System.
