Key Concepts of Chess - The Hedgehog
The topic on this video course is the so-called "Hedgehog system" which is characterised by at least four black pawns on the sixth rank, which we call the "spikess of the hedgehog.
On this video course Grooten discusses the basic ideas for both White and Black of a typical structure that can arise from various opening variants. This is the so-called “hedgehog system” which is characterised by at least four black pawns on the sixth rank which we call the “spikes” of the hedgehog.
Another essential aspect is that the exchange of a black c-pawn for a white d-pawn (as in the Sicilian) creates a position in which, partly due to c2-c4, a large space advantage is obtained by White.
But that the “hedgehog” is viable will become clear in all the examples shown, as the author likes to use this system himself!
