In a Chesscafe's column I heard about the Stonewall or Dutch Stonewall but there's no explanation,also I didn't find it in the Chessgames opening explorer.
Can someone tell me how it's played?

Stonewall is a variation of the Dutch defense

The Dutch Stonewall is played by white. It is ultra defensive. Essentially white builds the Dutch formation described above. Since white has a move advantage, it can be very effective, flexible, solid, and very frustrating for your opponent. But it is only recommended if you are playing a stronger opponent. The stonewall has a high probability of ending in a draw. But who wants to draw against weaker opponents, especially when playing white?

Thanks to everybody,this is what I wanted to know.

I found an interesting page on it if you like to check it out.
