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
nd stonewall maybe this will help.
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
EVERY WEEK ON TUESDAY, MY WIFE AND I PASS THROUGH VOORHEES TO GO TO
MY STROKE THERAPY IN CHERRYHILL AREA., I HAD A STROKE IN 2002 AND I FEEL THAT CHESS IS HELPING WITH M Y MEMORY AND THINGS PROCESS.
MY EMAIL IS antne003@ve5rizon.net if you have chess opening ideas?
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.
FORUM MEMBERS, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS OF A GOOD PAWN STRUCTURE THAT COULD BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SCOTCH OPENING? i am looking for added protection while developing or aftyer developement. would the stonewall be of any use in conjunction with this opening?
thank you, inquiring mind wants to know and learn.
