First Strike: The Fighting Stonewall Attack for Beginners Chessable

NM Robert Ramirez’s Fighting Stonewall Attack does exactly that. You’ll know exactly where your pieces want to be and what the best plan is. You won’t have to memorize endless theory because you’ll really understand this dynamic system.

NM Ramirez describes this as a “dream position”

This easy-to-learn universal system is the perfect starting point for beginners and amateurs to build their opening repertoire. It’s easy to learn, gives excellent chances to attack ,and it’s rare enough that few players will be ready for your Stonewall Attack.

However, this isn’t an opening you can mindlessly play in your sleep – you’ll have to remain sharp and aware for your chance to seize the attack. NM Ramirez highlights the opportunities to attack with an entire chapter dedicated to the famous Greek gift (sacrificing a bishop on h7 in order to drag the opponent’s king out).

It’s a very important tactical motif in general, but even more so in the Stonewall Attack, where you’ll get ample opportunity to demonstrate your attacking prowess. The author demonstrates all kinds of tactical chances which will allow you to score quick wins.
