You are right man, if you employ this opening as black, you must not stick to one dimensional plan of direct king side but also consider playing new moves like opening up the queen side etc, etc. Stonewall is not easy to play against gritty and patient players like Reshevsky, Petrosian and many more. Thanks for the video. Nice presentation.
