Setup vs ...g6 (KID or Grunfeld)
There is a player named Yaacov Norowitz who plays on ICC using the handle of YaacovN. He is a practioner of the Stonewall Attack. His ICC best ratings are Bullet 2836 - Blitz 3302 - 5 min. 2546 -
1 min. 2639. He uses the following setup vs games with ...g6 1.d4 2.e3 3.Nf3 4.Be2 5.O-O 6.b3 (Zukertort idea) 7.Bb2 8.c4 9.Nc3. He has excellent results using this setup. I think his games would be a good start building an opening repertoire vs ...g6. DEiler |

I was thinking about this opening just a few days ago thinking about trying to find something other than the 150/Barry. -David |

He will take advantage of the weaknesses on the light or dark squares as needed of the position. DEiler |

Any way we can get a collection of this guy's games to work from?

RE: Setup vs ...g6 (KID or Grunfeld)
Kenilworth chess club has a lecture on Stonewall and Yaacov. Here is a link. I believe there is a collection of games there.

RE: Setup vs ...g6 (KID or Grunfeld)
One of the most important points that Yaacov made is that you cannot play the Stonewall as a tabiya, simply posting your pawns to c3, d4, e3, and f4 and then deploying your pieces in typical Stonewall fashion with Bd3, Nf3-e5, Nbd2, Qe2 or Qf3, O-O, etc. Instead, you have to be willing to play a system of interconnected lines that respond to what your opponent is doing. Here are three examples of how Yaacov changes his strategy to respond to his opponent's play:
Against the King's Indian Defense set-up by Black with Nf6, g6, Bg7, d6, and Nbd7, where it would be difficult to prevent an eventual ...e5 break by Black, Yaacov switches to a Zukertort line with b3 and Bb2, which has a similar goal to the Stonewall in controlling dark squares with the added feature that the dark squared Bishops typically get exchanged later to White's advantage. The above is the quote from Kenilworth Chess Club's site. Thanks to DEiler, we might have another solution!
