Stonewall Legacy: Mainline with 6...Qc7

This is part of a series of chess opening videos called Stonewall Legacy, by Matt Pullin.

This video features 6...Qc7 in the mainline of the Stonewall, a good move since after the obvious 7.Ngf3 White turns out worse in all lines. I suggest an alternate development of pieces including Nh3 and Qf3.

The game Van Vliet-Znosko-Borovsky, 1907 is very important for White and Black to be aware of. I found this game in the back of Aron Nimzowitch's 'My System'. It is the best chess book ever written, but computer analysis disagrees with Nimzo's assessment of a critical line in this game.

Even years later your videos are still helping people. Thanks a lot for taking the time to make them. They are very instructive.

I know this was posted two months ago, but seriously? Qa4+? The knight is protected by the bishop on f8..

[MissColgan]

why not queen to a4 check after knight to b4 instead of bishop to d1.then after bishop to d7 queen takes knight.

i analyzed this 2 and i don't see anything wrong with knight g-f3

[k17dudeP]

i'm assuming black would play knight to g4 which would win the white rook

[MAfr3ak]

at 2:26 can't the rook just go to f2 instead

[MAfr3ak]

he doesnt have an accent
