Chess Lesson: The Dutch Defence - Stonewall Variation

Explores the Dutch Defence opening (ECO A94). This defence creates a very tactical and dynamic game for both sides of the board, and is definitely one of the more tactical and aggressive replies to the Queen's pawn opening from white.

I have compiled a list of Grandmaster advice on my main page jrobichess(dot)com - that should help give a framework to go by that will yield positive results. Thanks for checking out the vid!

As black how do you defende the g7 pawn and if white trades pawns on d4 which pawn is the best one to strike back with ?

[willz69r]

e5 is a potential weakness for black but why doesnt queens pawn move up 1 and threten that square?

I used this defence to defeat Chess Titans Level 10. :D Thank you! I hope you put more videos with good defenses, openings, and tactics!

P.S. THANK YOU!

hey! awesome videos! I'm playing a tournament in chess dot com and a most of your videos helped me with the openings and defenses. I was wondering which software are you using for the casts? I might start doing casts in Spanish =)

Good video. Thanks JRobi! I am just starting to learn the Dutch and have had exactly one success with it so far. Not bad considering I have only played one game with it - GRIN! I enjoy learning from your videos. GREAT work and play man! You inspire me.

This is a great site. I'm amazed at how you can play a biltz game quite calmly, keeping your wits about you to the extent that you can produce a real-time video that discusses what's going on. That's multitasking to a level that I'll never attain! As for the Stone Wall, I have a book that recommends it as the one technique to master, but against the King's pawn opening.

alright so i got up the defense which is pretty awesome - thanks a bunch, but im having trouble deciding what is the best move to do next following up with the rook for white's pond moving from C4 to C5?

You sound like Peter Parker from spider man ._.

thanx for sharing.

@jrobichess

Why doesn't the pawn on c4 (for white) ever seem to come to c5, attacking the Bishop.
