One of the founders of hypermodernism--was it Breyer or Reti?--famously said "After e4 White's game is on its last legs." Another of hypermodernism's founding fathers, I forget which one, described the position in the game before anyone had moved as "a very complex position." So the little joke that started this posting is not so farfetched.
Hypermodern Theory SOLVED!

Yup. I have seen something similar before.

The first one is a joke, the second one hardly. The initial position IS a very complex position; at least as complex as any other in the game. A proof of this is that programs play the opening quite poorly when their opening book is turned off.
EHUM
Well JhanasEcstasy (or should I say mikex22) , I see you created this new ID to bump both these posts.

I think White has the advantage because he hasn't weakened his position with useless pawn moves like Black has

...just splitting hairs. Continue please.
orangehonda, I'm not Jhanas. He's a friend from another site, lol. Why would I waste my time bumping these old things? I kinda think they're stupid right now to be honest, but you take the cake as far as imagination goes. Congratulations. chess.com bans people for creating multiple usernames, by the way. Why in the WORLD would I risk that just to bump a post? Really...some people need to just sit back and think for a second. You'd think at least chess players were capable of such a thing.
Heh, sorry to accuse you like that then. Do they really ban players with multiple accounts? I mean... I guess I know they say they do, but... I dunno I just guessed a lot of people had them anyway... lol I'd be one of those players when caught breaking the rules and banned that messages the staff "you banned me?!!? Are you sure cheating was against the rules?! Let me back in" lol
oh my bad...I kinda flipped on you in the other post, lol. I'm much too used to dealing with "simple minded" people to put it lightly, haha. I'm sorry. I do know one person with multiple accounts that was banned. Not sure how they check but the heck if I care enough to bump a few forum posts :P

Hypermodern theory, the slow (cowardly), conservative (unoriginal), cautious (indirect), and tricky (fillintheblank) systematic undermining of the opponent's openings and plans via solid (conservative) pawn structures and long range (indirect) influence has finally been put to rest! With the clever use of only one piece!
I always play the sharper 5. Nh3 in this line as White.
Yeah, I don't see much of a play after 7.Nf3
I will try to analyse it later...
