Stonewall: because it's a system, mainly, and those no need to memorize 12 moves into the future..

Playing the white side of a Ruy Lopez: Bird's variation. Especially when I get a 'black wall' on d4-d5.

Bascially seperates the board into two halves, + I can push my f pawn because the wall prevents Black's bishop to exploit the diagonal.
