Can anyone tell me what a "stonewall" is? (like Stonewall Dutch for example)

Diagrams would be apreciated.

Thanks!

An good question, that I don't know the answer to. However, I'd assume (after seeing a video on the Stonewall Attack and the Dutch Defense (the Stonewall Variation) I would conclude that it is when you basically create a checker board with your pawns. In the diagram (as requested) The 5 forward pawns show this. Again, this is only an educated guess, if anyone knows for certain, I await your answer with anticipation.

I believe the Stonewall involves pawns on c3, d4, e3 and f4 (c6, d5, e6 and f5)
