5/4/2021 – It's also thanks to Magnus Carlsen that the Stonewall currently enjoys a good reputation and is considered healthy and ambitious. Usually, the Stonewall structure arises via the Dutch Defense, after 1.d4 f5. But in ChessBase Magazine #201, the new issue of the CBM, the renowned theoretician and Dutch expert Viktor Moskalenko shows that Black also does well against line-ups without d2-d4 (English or Reti). He explains the ideas of these systems with some of his own games and concludes: "Behind the Stonewall you should never lose".

2/2/2017 – In round twelve of Tata Steel, Magnus Carlsen once more played the Dutch Stonewall, an opening he has returned to more and more often, and played a very precise move order. What is special is that this is cutting edge theory that is also presented in this DVD, released just days before that game. In this treatise on the extremely solid opening, GM Erwin L'Ami shares the results of his deep investigation, including new ideas and special move orders.
