Foreword
www.Ebook777.com
These two main variations for Black can merge into each other, because in
the e6-.te7 variation the .tfS-g6-.tg7 manoeuvre is common, and in the g6-
.tg7 system the e6 move is also employed fairly often.
In both systems the 'iic 7-'iib S -'iia S manoeuvre is typical, this helps to put
more pressure on the diagonal and prepares for the d6-d5 centre explosion.
In the Hedgehog-system Black has to be careful with the move-exchanges,
because an incorrect move-order can lead to unpleasant suprises. Of course it is
impossible to show all the variations, but I have tried to collect the more
frequently played ones.
Many worldclass grandmasters show a preference for the Hedgehog-system:
Kasparov, Adams, Andersson, Ftachnik, Portisch, Ribli, Adorjan, Lobron, Gav
rikov, Hjartarson and Psakhis, among others, have all employed it.
As a result of Opening Theory and of contest practice this opening secures a
very valuable game for Black, and can be used effectively.
