Well, it's not always like that, Black has several improvements: 1. Anyhow, that's the inspiration. Pillsbury even found a way to impose this sort of attack on the Queen's Gambit, with the Bc1 developed actively at g5, and this idea is worth looking at one day too. Because of these improved Black lines, you don't see the Stonewall Opening much, and, since Black has also learned how to play the Queen's Win with the Stonewall Dutch Declined, you don't see the related Pillsbury formation often either. One place where the Stonewall formation will not go away is Black playing it in the Dutch Defence. Why hasn't this line died too? White, starting first, is usually trying to get an advantage and won't play just to equalise with moves Win with the Stonewall Dutch Bf4, Bxd6, Ne5 and f4. Instead, White will often adopt an attacking formation on the Queen's side to start with and so there is a Win with the Stonewall Dutch for each side to attack on opposite sides. White often plays g3 and Bg2, creating a slow game with a slightly weakened King's side. Black Win with the Stonewall Dutch hope to get the This may help explain why you see the Stonewall is a better idea played a move behind in the Dutch Defence than played Win with the Stonewall Dutch away as White. Perhaps the real reason is that World Champion Mikhail Botvinnik kept playing and winning with it for decades. Take a look at this:. Bg2 Be7 5. Nc3 O-O 6. Nf3 d5 7. O-O c6 8. Qc2 Qe8 9.

It's rare that you get the chance to play the Stonewall and related formations in the King-pawn openings, but as you improve you will meet more players who use this 1. They are well worth knowing about, if only to enjoy these terrific games! Robert Bellin wrote a good book on the Classical Dutch which is now sadly out-of-print; otherwise you might want to consult a book like BCO2 for the latest piece placements and move orders. The Stonewall has in fact undergone something of a resurgence recently, with Win with the Stonewall Dutch GMs like Short and Yusupov adding it to their repertoire. The modern treatment for both sides has improved: Whites now know about Petrosian's idea of installing Knights on f3 and d3 where they support both White's attack and defence; similarly, players of Black have experimented with different placings of the Bishops, trying out the Bc8 on b7 Win with the Stonewall Dutch Now, if White still insists on the exchange, the time-consuming a2-a4 and Nb1xa3-c2 are necessary. With this time available, Black can think about If White hasn't met the Dutch defence before, it's likely they will just play their usual old moves: the London system, the classical system or a Gambit. The London system d2-d4, Ng1-f3, Bc1-f4 is just asking for Black to play Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7 5. Bd3 b6 7. Nge2 Bb7 8. Bxe7 Qxe7 Ng3 Nxg3 Nf3 f5 3. Nc3 6. Bd3 Bb7 8. Qe2 Ne4 Bxe7 Nxc3 Qxf3 Nc6 White went on to win this famous ending, but according to Robert Bellin, sometime British Champion and longtime Dutch defender, Black has the advantage because of his better Pawn structure.

The forward to this book comes from the great Simen Agdestein who wrote interestingly: Is the Stonewall still an opening where you can find new ideas and develop your personal style? Win with the Stonewall Dutch would definitely say yes! During the Chess Olympiad in Dresden, I propagated the opening with the rest of the Norwegian Win with the Stonewall Dutch and was happy Win with the Stonewall Dutch see Magnus Carlsen score a enterprising win with it against Rowson,while Leif Johannessen used it to secure a useful draw. A few months later Jon Ludvig Hammer too was playing the Stonewall with great effect. Conclusion: A very important reference work of the Dutch Stonewall! The master of defence and counter attack was the great Lasker and it is pleasant that Zenon Franco starts with this chess genius. Tarrasch once wrote that Lasker was simple lucky in chess but as we can learn from Zenon Franco it is more a matter of technique! Funny enough Bobby Fischer found Lasker a coffeehouse player but that is a other story!

The white pieces could be in quite different places -- the white knight on h3, for instance, or the king's bishop not fianchettoed -- and it would still be a Stonewall. The Stonewall Dutch is not a particularly popular opening, but it is still a respected one. By his "stonewall," Black achieves something that he rarely manages Win with the Stonewall Dutch the opening: to obtain at least equal space and control of some squares in White's half of the board, particularly e4. Against this, there are -- as there must be -- some downsides. In particular, Black has weakened the dark squares by putting Win with the Stonewall Dutch of his central pawns on the light squares.
