Will be using the hippo defence definitely!!
Hippos may be the most dangerous animal in Africa. This opening seems more dangerous for the person playing it than the opponent.
This one is pretty Hip
sometimes i think they just pay someone at chess.com to invent these openings..
Mustn't one be quite strong to crush a Hippo?
Cool I played the hippo attack for fun before.
0 games in database SHOCKING
my newest weapon as black
I can see this (and also the Attack verion) as being an effective (albeit cheap) blitz strategie. While the hippo player is making easy, almost mindless moves and decisions, white is busy wasting time trying to search for a breakthrough point. It won't win you many friends, but it would work.
Gonnosuke, the database has 1. ... b6 listed as the Owen Defense and the them of double fianchetto looks like what the database has listed as a Robatsch Defense development. Are those also wrong?
@gonnosuke
thank you, I tought it was wrong, but I wasn't sure about it
THATS THE CRAB
