Hedgehog against English What do you think about the hedgehog against the English? How were your experiences with it? And can white prevent it (after 1.c4 Nf6 2.g3!?) ? Started 05/18/05 at 17:52:59 by FightingDragon	3	3050	06/01/05 at 10:24:01 By: MKalecki
Hedgehog In which category does the 'Hedgehog' belong ? It can be reached by way of the symmetrical english or by way of the maroczy bind sicilian. Started 04/22/05 at 01:49:26 by elspringer	0	1644	04/22/05 at 01:49:25 By: elspringer

Symmetrical English 1 c4 c5 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 Nc3 Nc6 I have a ‘repertoire’ question relating to the position after 1 c4 c5 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 Nc3 Nc6. Originally I was thinking, by playing 4 d4 rather than 4 g3 here, I could, should I so wish, avoid the Tarras...

Poll: Hedgehog When Playing for the Win I don't play 1. d4 d5 openings and so when faced with 1.

Symmetrical English: 3...Nd4 What's the current state of the line 1.c4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Nf3 Nd4 ?
