I've been studying chess openings lately and I just recently came across this one. Has anyone used the hedgehog defense? How well has it worked for you? Are their any famous games that use this tactic? If you've never heard of this further reading can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog_Defence

That's basically my only resource on it.

ive used this defense several times and its almost always proved successful for me. It helps to focus on alot of positional play with the two knights later in the game to ensure a win

If interested in the hedgehog, take a look at Mihai Suba's "Dynamic Chess Strategy". It is full of good advice on playing the Hedgehog Defense and its theoretical basis.

I played this over 100 times. I play 1. b3 over on lichess and i can certainly say, This is poggers. I play this like a system. It's just soo unknown and effective. Your plans are soo simple. Although i am confused on what to do after the simple plans though.

Don't you think that you are a bit too late? The question you're answering was asked 14 years ago.

GM Ulf Andersson played it a lot. He started playing it after he lost to Fischer who played it.
