I played with the hedgehog set-up and I have been thinking about incorperating the Nimzo Indian into my repertoire. So this video hits home and I love it. this is my third time visiting this video and i'm sure not the last.
Really good game!
nice, but please have better sound quality!
Great instructional video, but ruined by the poor sound quality.
Very good lecture. I am not sure if it is just me...sound quality is really bad. At times I can barely hear you and sound is breaking up. Perhaps mike may be the problem. Please look into this. I am a big fan of your lectures based on your contribution on chesslecture.com.

by GM Eugene Perelshteyn
Some may know a somewhat famous attacking plan in the hedgehog set-up where black plays Kh8 Rg8 and then g5-g4 starting an attack on the king. In the game Ippolito - Perelshteyn, black employs a similar plan without "wasting time" on O-O and Kh8. Despite the total lack of weaknesses on the white kingside, the loss of a queenside pawn, and the opening of the center, the GM finds creative ways to whip up murderous threats leading to an all-out kill-or-be-killed brawl.
