Since Stonewall Defense is a closed positional game, most computer chess are not
good at closed games; they are weak especially in Stonewall Defense. Computer
chess are excellent in tactics.

As far as I know, some top chess programmers work very hard how to improve their
chess engines that will play very well in closed games.
