DESCRIPTION:
. The black c-pawn exchanges for the white d-pawn only when White can only recapture with a piece. This e-book contains ten examples from my correspondence play, all interesting struggles against tough opponents. You can reach Hedgehog formations routinely from the Sicilian Defense, from the Queen's Indian, from the English, and even from the Nimzo-Indian. In all, I used the Hedgehog four times in the tenth US Correspondence Championship. Among many possibilities:The Sicilian: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6The English: 1.c4 c5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nc3 e6 4.g3 b6 5.Bg2 Bg7 6.0-0 Be7 7.d4 cxd4 8.Qxd4The Nimzo-Indian: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 Bb4 4.Qc2 c5The Benoni: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nf3 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e6Unlike the Vulture and the Rat, the Hedgehog is an indisputably sound strategy that has figured prominently in grandmaster chess for more than four decades. Years ago, I read Adorjan's article, "The Quill of the Hedgehog." It was clear that it was the start of a beautiful friendship a structure that was very well suited to my style clear positional themes, thematic pawn breaks, and some rather lovely tactical ideas. The profuse use of diagrams make these among the first chess books that you can read WITHOUT A BO
Great overview of ideas in the Hedgehog Structure If you play hedgehog structures, this book is well worth getting. You get 10 annotated games, giving you a good idea of where the pieces go in this structure. The book has a lot of explanations and not a lot of variations, which I found helpful for an introduction to this structure.. Adolfo Bormida said A very golf start!. As all John Eduards books this is also very good for start with a new sistem. Is very usefull for learn the basic principales of It. Very well comentes ganes in his words and not in large variacionts. I strongly recomen it!Adolfo Bormida (ICCF IM). What I like is that it's cheep and instructive. What I like about this book is that it's easy to understand,and you can apply it to your game in the Sicilian defense.
