Now we see what comes from letting sloughter post this way. But I will hand out some free chess advice nevertheless. As a general rule, having played ...f5, Black should not commit himself to ...d5 until White's KN has landed on f3. If it goes instead to h3, Black should play ...d6. Therefore, 4...c6 was a better move than 4...d5.
I believe the Nh3 lead to an advantage for White against the Stonewall...
I do agree with the above quote; if white plays the Nh3 line, play 4...c6 and ... d6 i.e. "the Classical." Black looks to be ok... However.. Johnson & Bern's tome on the Stonewall point out some tricky waiting moves that white can play starting around the 7th Example:
1.d4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 e6 4.c4 c6! 5.Nh3 Be7 6.0-0 0-0 7.Nd2
[7.Nf4 d6 8.Nd3 Nbd7 9.f4? e5! 10.fxe5 dxe5 11.dxe5 Ng4µ;
7.d5 Qc7 8.Nc3 e5 9.e4 d6 10.exf5 Bxf5 11.Ng5 Na6! (11...Nbd7?! White gets to guard the pawn with Bh3 then pushes b4 to throw out black knight at c5 white gets a space advantage, while black forces are not harmonic.
12.Ne6 Bxe6 13.dxe6 Nc5 14.Bh3 Rad8 15.b4 Na6²) 12.Ne6 Bxe6 13.dxe6 Rad8÷;
7.Qc2 Na6 8.a3 d6 9.Nd2 d5 personally i don't like this line... how does black keep Nf4 then Nd3 followed by Nf3 both covering e5;
7.b3 d6 8.Bb2 Qc7 (8...a5 9.Nc3 Na6) 9.Nd2 e5 10.dxe5 dxe5 11.Qc2 (11.e4 Na6!? .after coming Nc5 this looks equal) 11...h6 (11...Na6!?; 11...Ng4!?) 12.Qc3 Nbd7÷;
7.Nc3 d6! 8.e4 e5 9.dxe5 dxe5=] 7...d6 8.b3 e5 9.dxe5 dxe5 " Playing the classical as long as I have... when I get pawns at f5 and e5 I know things are going my way... "
As far as the Dutch goes.... I play both the Classical and Stonewall lines.. There is risk playing f5. Its a fickle animal. When I win... I win big! But I loose more than I draw... It's just the nature of the Dutch.
Thanks for your feed back but i still fear there are lot of good lines for black this might be one of them
