Thank you Randy! Appreciate it man - I love making these so it's cool to hear when people are enjoying them. Let me know if there's any other chess opening videos you'd want me to make!
@@randyarnold3830 Hey Randy, I am. Planning to release a website first week of May which includes a lot of stuff including coaching information. However, if you want to email me at "thechessgiant@gmail.com" I can give you the info and we could start early if you were interested! I'll keep an eye out for your email in case you decide to reach out. Have a good Sunday!
I've just started studying the Stonewall system, it reminds me of like an accelerated semi-slav triangle system, which I really like. I'm already a slav / triangle player, so this system feels pretty natural and has nice aggression. I second Jacob Jones' comment below, can we get a part 2 for non g3 responses by White?
Hey Andrea! Ya I've found that taking with the e-pawn is actually a good idea as well. Really just depends on preference but I should've went into this option as well
As another note, there's a sideline of the Slav exchange that I've studied, where after cxd5 cxd5, White plays g3... I studied it extensively for a couple weeks, and played it against bots of varying levels to practice, played it in my games, etc... What I found is the computer says it's roughly equal, but it's obviously easier to play as Black. White's structure is very fragile and they must play precisely in order for it to not fall apart. The same seems to be true in the g3 variation of the Stonewall. Structures are similar, eventually cxd5 trades take place, and White has to be similarly careful about everything Black does. Is it objectively okay? Yes, but that's not the same as the position being easy to play. Computers are comfortable in ridiculous positions. Black's moves in each of these opening variations are much easier to find and play, the ideas are more straight-forward, and the position is more stable.
I am looking to switching to this system against d4. Thanks for the great ideas & plans shared in this video. As I was looking at other lessons as well I got a query, people are asking to capture the d pawn always with the e pawn rather than c pawn. Could you please clarify on this?
What do you do with the dark squared bishop if white immediately plays c5 after bd4? I want to try the Stonewall but afraid to get suffocated with push pushes
@@TheChessGiant Maybe the position at 4:15? There's no one specific position exactly. I guess it's more that as soon as the opponent sees my bishop, they'll push the pawn to c5.

You do an awesome job I'm learning the Dutch and birds opening I watch your videos over and over thanks for the content

Wanted to know if you do any teaching or coaching

Good Job, many thanks.
Superb presentation.
Thanks Michael! Dutch is a super solid and fun opening, you got rare but good taste!
Very good video. Thank you.
Could you make a video about the side-lines like 2. Bf4 or 2. Qd3 or 2. g4?
Thanks Thomas, appreciate it. And thanks for sending in these lines/variations!
Impressed once again, thank you!
Of course, and thanks for the kind words! Excited to keep making more UA-cam chess content.
Very well explained as always!
Any chance of a part two on non g3 white responses?
Seconded! ^

What to do if White strikes with an early e4? for example
Great you've been studying this area of chess! And awesome thanks for getting this on my radar more!
Got it! (At what point in the game exactly?)
Nice video, when they take on d5 I always prefer taking with the e pawn, as long as f5 is not hanging
Hey Andrea! Ya I've found that taking with the e-pawn is actually a good idea as well. Really just depends on preference but I should've went into this option as well
learned a lot. Thank you
You got it Kapitan! Glad you got something out of the video. Let me know what other chess openings you'd want to see covered!
That looks like a great way to go for black. Lots of fun.
Ya it's super fun! Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant Thank you so much.

These are great thoghts!!
My favorite, amazing
I'm glad you enjoyed it Ritvik!
I like this stonewall dutch- I'm going to play with it.
Best of luck! It's a really solid system and setup. Let me know if you have any questions about it going forward!
@@TheChessGiant thank you!
what if c5 in the begining of the game?@@TheChessGiant
veryy nice vid, stonewall variation seems alot more solid then the leningrad variation gothamchess reccomends.

2:36 what if white plays c5 instead b3?
What would be the ideal moves if white instantly pushes our active bishop with the move pawn to C5 ?
Hey could you send me a timestamp so I know exactly where you're talking about? Thanks!
i love the stonewall but i need more attacking opening for white
Like how to respond to an attacking white opening? Or playing as white?
@@TheChessGiant yeah as white
If white plays London System ex 2.Bf4, is stonewall Dutch still playable or advisable vs just switching to a classical Dutch at that point.
Totally Danny
What do you do with the dark squared bishop if white immediately plays c5 after bd4? I want to try the Stonewall but afraid to get suffocated with push pushes

Bless you sir
Let’s go!
You know the vibes man!
I used to use this very nice 👌
Ayy nice man! Ya it's a solid opening that is never bad to have in your back pocket!
There are hypermodern moves in the air.
"Hypermodern" might be one of my favorite words in the English language right now
I really want to watch these videos. And then I get 1 minute in and remember how absolutely boring your videos and enthusiasm are.
Hey Milton, thanks for the kind words man! Honored man. Excited to keep making more.
