What it concludes

The Stonewall Dutch is a very solid opening for Black that creates great tactical and strategic chances.
B3 should never be played before castling for White because it can lead to losing the knight.
Trading the light-squared bishops is generally favorable for White against the Stonewall Dutch.
Playing c5 for Black becomes very effective in conjunction with either bishop b7 or bishop a6.
Queen f1 is actually equal for White after bishop h5 forces the queen to move.
