I don't know how you would set a stonewall formation after opening with the scotch. In the stonewall whites pawn's are on d4,e3,and f4, you can't reach that position if you play the scotch.

here's the mainline in the scotch a

pvmike,

thanks verymuch, i am no way an expert at this gasme , only a little above a beginner.  this is why i asked for ideas. I WISH I WAS  CAPABLE AT THE  COMPUTER TO LAY OUT THE  DIAGRAMS THAT  YOU  DID

I  PLAY THE SCOTCH A LOT ASD WHITE AND I'M LOOKING FOR  A PAWN FOUNDATION THAT I CAN INTEGRATE WITH IT FOR  MORE PROTECTION  DURING OR AFTER DEVELOPEMENT.

ANY IDEAS ARE  APPRECIATED?,  THANKS  AND ON A SIDE NOTE , I'M FROM  RIO GRANDE, NEW JERSETY, JUST 5 MINS FROM WILDWOOD

                        thanks      tony  from the  jersey shore

Tony, whether it's Scotch (pawn structure irrelevant), or Colle (relevant), the pawn structure is always at the back of our mind, moving our pawns (which can't go back) the right way.  Pawns should work together, and usually you have better position when the pawns are in a chain.  If you can avoid double-pawns or isolated pawns do so.  I hope that helps a bit...

NB. relevant: part of the opening moves.

pvmike and charlie, thanks verymuch for  you  imput.
