My best Stonewall game so far

Hi all

I've been using the Stonewall system against 1.d4 for a few months now, with generally good results, but up until now I've been struggling to effectively execute the standard kingside attack. I've also been in a major slump for the last couple of weeks, which made the following game especially satisfying! 

nice game! but why do you use the stonewall?

Here are mistakes which i think are made by your opponet.

Qc2 - i refer this as inaccuracy i think Nd2 was better followed by cxd5.

a4 - creating weakness on b3

Rae1? - it freezes the f-rook. still i would prefer Nd2 followed by either f3 or cxd5

g3- Dark-Squared Weaknesses in white s' king position

Kg2 - Useless, yes there is a posibillity of R coming to H-File but he never did it in the game

Bxe4 - giving up a bishop for a knight.

26.Nf3 - Losing a piece

Qc3- Useless if i was white i would here resign.

What is my Counter against the stonewall?

To play F3 and try to open the center as much as possible by exchanging pawns/pieces because i prefer open rather than closed positons

Good luck in future!

The Stonewall's just a fairly solid system, with good possibilities for aggressive kingside attacks or positional play; I tried it out after seeing Magnus win twice with it. It's great at my level because very few opponents play the most problematic responses (hyperaggressive f3 advance, or the fianchetto set-up). 

To be honest many of your annotations to my opponents moves are either unfair (hindsight is 20/20 after all) or just wrong. 

the reason i do not like the stonewall is because your queen bishop and queen rook are frozen most of the game

Yes, but the opponent's pieces are similarly cramped...

Stonewall is not good against 1. Nf3 2. c4, however, if your opponent plays d4 anytime, it suddenly turns good afterall.

Antonio, cxd5 exd5 is generally good for black, primarily because it improves the light squared bishop. White can subsequently put a knight on e5, creating a passed pawn if it is taken, but there's always sufficient counterplay here and it isn't a very testing line for the Stonewall. 

lol dude I would ask you to justify that but you're obviously either insane or just baiting
