this looks like it will be a very interesting group for me. I play the Stonewall Attack for white, and the Dutch Stonewall for black against c4 and d4. I get into the Dutch by 1...d5 instead of 1...f5 to avoid a lot of the gambit lines. I have not seen this move order. Does anybody else play it this way? I'd like to see some GM games.

I would like to see more of the anti-stonewall, especially how to handle black playing .....11.Ne4, after white has moved his knight from d2 where if protects against .....Ne4

This seems to even things out for black, and its a move that I dread...lol

Im just learning to be flexible with the stonewall in the last few months, it really is a great opening that can transpose easily to an excellent queenside attack.  Ive won as many games with a queenside attack as with with the main line.

What about this idea (borrowed from the adv.variation of the Caro-kann). I wouldnt be surprised to see a player like Morozevich lash out with a move Smile like this.

 

The "Baltic defense"

1.d4 d5 2. e3 Bf5  3.g4!?

Very aggressive way of meeting the baltic defense. I could only find 6 games with this move within an online database. 3 wins for white 2 for black and 1 draw. White plays aggressively with a space advantage.
