Stonewall Attack Chess Pdf Books This opening, characterized by White playing 1.d4, 2.e3, 3.f4 and 4.c3, and 5.Bd3 is a system White sets up, rather than a specific variation. It’s a solid formation which is hard to refute, but Black has several ways to meet it. The Stonewall Attack is a chess opening; more specifically it is a variation of the Queen's Pawn Game. It is characterized by White (generally) playing their pawns to d4 and e3, playing Bd3, Nd2, and then playing pawns to c3 and then f4; although the moves are not always played in that order (see transposition).

The dream of a 'universal system' is revived by GM David Smerdon in his blog post, where he offers two of his games with the Stonewall as Black and White. He says he was inspired to try out the Stonewall by reading Revolutionize Your Chess -- combined with his desire to avoid too much theory.

As he writes: 'With no time to study chess (and even less time to remember my old theory), it was time for me to start thinking practically about how to survive at the board. I needed a system that wasn’t too susceptible to the latest novelties, that was easy to understand, and that was fresh enough to keep me interested.

No mean feat.' When I read his post, I had just started looking at the Dutch myself and I was also starting to think that I should try to de-emphasize opening study and learn to just 'play chess.' So I thought I'd also try 'going Stonewall.' Hence this bibliography of sources on 'The Stonewall in Black & White' to aid my studies -- and yours.

The main advantage of all opening systems is that it's easy to figure out what to do in the opening stages, especially since each piece has a preferred square. In the Stonewall as White, you generally want to play pawns to d4, e3, f4, and c3 and place your pieces into the logical places around that structure: Bd3, Nbd2, O-O, and Nf3 (followed typically by Ne5), with various plans for the other pieces depending on your opponent's choices. The dark squared Bishop (or light squared Bishop for Black) is often a problem, but it can find play either by Bd2-e1-h4 or by b3 with either Bb2 or Ba3 to follow. Pretty much the same set-up is possible from the Black side. Of course, you cannot play these moves on auto-pilot and you need to be aware of various replies that will dictate a different course of action. Yakyuken android psx android. But it is pretty straight-forward in the early stages.

It's also relatively easy to learn the standard middle-game plans that result from the pawn structure, so you will never be completely adrift in the strategic positions that result. There are other potentially universal systems, of course, but the Stonewall is very attractive by comparison. For example, a different f4/f5 universal system called the ' is advocated by GM Henrik Danielsen. For those interested in exploring the line, he has produced a number of videos and a game of Danielsen's with it is analyzed by James Vigus in ' (an excerpt from ). The Polar Bear is essentially a reversed, so you can combine it with the Leningrad as Black to create a universal system (except against 1.e4). The Stonewall may not be as dynamic as its Polar cousin, but it seems a little more solid and has a few other potential advantages for those who want to limit their theory intake.

Most importantly, to reach the Leningrad or Polar Bear you pretty much have to open with 1.f5 as Black or 1.f4 as White, which is not to everyone's taste, especially as there are so many anti-Dutch and anti-Bird lines to contend with that you will rarely reach your intended system, especially at the amateur level. With the Stonewall as White, however, 1.f4 is certainly a possible route, but 1.d4 is the most common and solid path; and as Black you can open in a number of ways, including any of the pawn moves in the formation: 1.d5, 1.e6, or 1.f5. What's more, if you play the French against 1.e4, then you can make 1.e6 your universal reply as Black, reaching a French or Dutch Stonewall in almost all of your games. So it definitely fits the bill as an 'anti-theory' weapon. In the past few years there have been a number of excellent publications devoted to the Stonewall, so you have many good choices among books, DVDs, and online sources to learn from -- all listed in reverse chronological order below. I have tried to be thorough, but as always I invite additions and comments from readers.
