      Just went through 3.3. I know that other than Owen’s defense (…b6 and …Bb7), there’s also Modern defense (…g6 …Bg7), which I guess has the same idea except that we fight for dark squares instead?

        Also, I’m pretty sure that chess.com will suddenly have lots of stonewall and Owen players. So maybe one wants to study how to counter them as well 🙂

        • Yes but Owen’s defense is more rare and has a lot of surprise value. Modern and King’s indian setups are played much more often so players have a better understanding of how to react to it.
