Sam Shankland Stonewall Adventures

It's kind of an accident I started playing the stonewall, it all started when I searched for the terms 'how to better blitz chess' on the youtube, one of the hits was sam shankland's vid titled just that, and the main opening in the video was the stonewall. He goes on to describe how one of his friends on ICC is somewhat average by his standards in chess understanding, but continuously hold his own playing this junk stonewall. Shankland never advocates the stonewall as a frontline opening, but admits the moves are blatantly obvious, requires no thinking and the plan unfolds naturally in this opening.

Anyways heres the video of Shanky's offering on becoming a better blitz player (26mins) :
