Intro: Wikipedia article: Hedgehog (chess) Wikipedia article: Igel (Schach)

So what exactly are the characteristics of the infamous Hedgehog - in other words, what makes it such a feared, complex and respected system? Well, you should really read the entire chapter Shipov devotes to the 'Hedgehog philosophy', but here are a few of Shipov's main points:

"In the Hedgehog, Black operates in guerilla style: avoiding direct contact, he hides in the bushes, observes his foe, waits, and then attacks at the most unexpected moment." Contratry to what common chess wisdom teaches about cramped positions, in the Hedgehog, "exchanges are bad for Black, because they decrease his fighting potential." "Right away, and with no regrets, I will tell you that, in the larger sense, the Hedgehog is a risky opening." In the Hedgehog, Black "sets up a solid wall of pawns, behind whose protection he can arrange a universal piece placement that's guaranteed to be a good one." Psychology plays an important role: "When White takes over the center without a struggle, he gets a feeling of superiority, regardless of his rating. (...) It's a drive that frequently leads to an unprepared attack." "The Hedgehog displays only an insignificant part of its possibilities. Its handlers must calculate many variations during the course of the game, and consider many nuances, the vast bulk of which never will turn into actual moves. (...) Literally at every move, the players must examine Black's possible breaks with ... b6-b5 and ...d6-d5, as well as White's active possibilites. (...) So time scrambles are an objective necessity for those who play the Hedgehog." "Those who feel uncomfortable in close quarters - in elevators, for example - should not be playing the Hedgehog. (...) The blood of the Hedgehogger must run cold as ice - at least, until a certain moment arrives..."

From Shipov's Complete Hedgehog Vol 1 review: http://www.chessvibes.com/reviews/r...
