I am learning to use the Stonewall attack and I want to know what are the ideal defenses for black. I was playing my father today and I opened with the traditional stonewall P-Q4 and then he countered with N-QB3. So I advanced my Q4 pawn attacking the knight.
But My stonewall formation of my pawns was broken. I've been avidly reading a book dedicated to the stonewall and I have seen counters for black N-KB3 or K-4 but never N-QB3. Is there something I'm missng. Keep in mind I am a beginner learning new openings. Is this a good defense for black or an easy move for white to attack
