The Perfect First Attacking Opening

The Stonewall Attack is a universal system that works against anything your opponent throws at you - so you’ll always be playing your system. This gives you the opportunity to learn and understand that system at a much deeper level, giving you an immediate advantage in any game.

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.

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.

Throughout the course you’ll learn different middlegame plans, attacking techniques and even some of the most common endgames resulting from the structure. This isn’t your ordinary opening course, it’s a full masterclass on playing every aspect of chess.
