Nip The Hedgehog’s Prickly Counterplay In The Bud And Make Your Space Advantage Count

Do you struggle to score against the Hedgehog? Doesn’t it drive you nuts how Black can survive and thrive… even when they can’t get past the third rank?

If so, then you’ll love this game-changer of a guide by International Master Laszlo Hazai and Woman FIDE Master Hanna Iván-Gál.

Hazai is one of the finest chess teachers from Hungary. He’s a lifetime FIDE Senior Trainer, a former coach of the Polgar sisters, and a distinguished opening theoretician.

On the other hand, Iván-Gál is a consistent top 100 player in the country. A huge feat considering its rich chess culture and endless list of formidable players.

Together, they bring you a move-by-move guide to…

Beating The Hedgehog System

The Hedgehog is a flexible defense which always has something up its sleeves.

Black can undermine your center …b6-b5 and …d6-d5. Attack your kingside’s dark squares with a queen-and-bishop battery. Or go after your king by launching the g-pawn.

That’s why, in Beating The Hedgehog System, Hazai and Iván-Gál went for the most airtight variations — which takes the sting out of Black’s counterplay and makes your space advantage count.

The repertoire starts with 1.c4, but the positions you’ll get are near-universal. They can arise from the Nimzo and Queen’s Indian Defense, Symmetrical English, or even the Sicilian.

So rest assured that the quill-trimming, Hedgehog-taming insights you’ll pick up inside will have plenty of mileage in them.

Here’s a sneak peek:

? Why many natural-looking moves — like placing a rook on d8 — are simply bad for Black. Plus, how to pounce on these subtle inaccuracies for an easy advantage.

? The ideal queenside formation versus the Hedgehog. If you ever lose your way in the opening, just play for this pawn structure to get back on track.

? How to use x-rays and little tactics to stop Black’s …d6-d5 break — which cements your space advantage and enables you to improve your position without fear of counterplay.

? “Poke and prod” maneuvers… which provoke Black’s e-pawn to e5. Not only do you get an excellent outpost on d5, the resulting backward d-pawn becomes a target for your pieces, too.

? When to push your a-pawn to the fourth rank… and when to hold it back. It’s the difference between a long-term positional edge and a gaping hole in your camp.

And many more.

The course’s 357 trainable variations and over 11 hours of video by Iván-Gál will give you the move-by-move knowledge you need to beat the Hedgehog.

Plus, you also get a chapter with 15 model games, as well as 30 strategy and tactics exercises to fine-tune your feel for the opening. So even if the game veers away from theory, you can count on your newfound understanding to carry you to an opening advantage.
