Unlike King's Indian, Stonewall is not such a sound opening for someone trying to win the game. In the classical Stonewall formation: [D]8/pp4pp/2p1p3/3p1p2/2PP4/1P4P1/P3PPBP/8 w - - 0 1 f3 continued by e4 is enough to open the position and doom black to a quick defeat due to his weak dark squares (especially if the dark bishop has already been exchanged by b3, Ba3, while the knight is still on b1). > >Have a look here: >http://www.angelfire.com/on/anticomputer/
