REFINE SEARCH:   White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2)

Jul-27-04    Giancarlo: This position does seem rather drawish and the wins go in whites favour. As a dutch player tbough I like to play the same opening as shown here but with 6..d6 instead, does snyone have any thing to say about that variation? I think it's beter then this one... Jul-27-04    trogdor: It's about the same. Jul-27-04    Dudley: The win % looks terrible for black, but in my experience the stonewall is highly effective at lower levels of playing strength. The ...d6 line is recommended should white position his knight on h3 instead of f3-the Blackburne variation. If white doesn't fianchetto and castles K side, black has a virtually automatic attack with the stonewall. Jul-06-05    Giancarlo: yeaaaahaha this is what I call an opening of the day!! I think <Dudley> is generally right, that this type of play tends to work in the lower levels, however I have used it quite successfully in the exact opposite! Dec-13-11    Penguincw: Opening of the Day Dutch, Stonewall, Botvinnik Variation 1.d4 f5 2.c4 ♘f6 3.g3 e6 4.♗g2 ♗e7 5.♘f3 O-O 6.O-O d5 7.b3 click for larger view Not a very common opening. Jun-23-12    BishopofBlunder: What does black do with the light square bishop? Fianchetto? Or just Bd7? Some variations have black playing c6, which would trap the bishop even further. What to do with a bad bishop? I like the Dutch, but mostly I play the Leningrad. Jun-23-12    King Death: <BishopofBlunder: What does black do with the light square bishop? Fianchetto? Or just Bd7..> Here's a game by the young Kramnik. One way for Black to play is ...Bd7-e8-h5, all of a sudden that "bad Bishop" isn't so bad anymore. Van Wely vs Kramnik, 1990 Jun-23-12    SimonWebbsTiger: Further to <King Death>s post, Kramnik actually wrote a section about the Stonewall Dutch in the 1990s Dvoretsky book "Secrets of Positional Chess". One point he noted is the Bishop on g2 isn't all that great either because it is restricted by the black pawn structure. The modern interpretation is often Bf8-d6, c7-c6 and b7-b6, Bc8-b7. c6-c5 is always in the position. Kramnik quickly dropped the Dutch! Jun-24-12    BishopofBlunder: <One way for Black to play is ...Bd7-e8-h5, all of a sudden that "bad Bishop" isn't so bad anymore.> This is pretty much what I figured, but it seems a bit slow. Three moves to get the queen bishop developed and then you have the queen knight. What do you do with it? C6? D7? Maybe I'm just too impatient for the Stonewall variation.
