The Hedgehog vs the English/Reti by Igor Lysyj
Will be interested to see how this book deals with 1.c4 c5 2.g3, isn't it tough to play a hedgehog against this move order?

Can black win in the hedgehog?
I can't help myself, I somehow feel all these statements that the hedgehog is a dynamic opening are false,
if white just sits back and does nothing the game will end in a draw. I am not sure... Started 01/12/12 at 21:00:25 by battleangel (Ex Member) « Pages 1 2 all » |

Move order for Hedge Hog Query
How does one get to the hedge hog formation for black against 1.c4 and 1 Nf3? Does white have to participate or is completely up to black. I play Nimzo and QID against 1 d4.
