My personal inclination is to delay central conflict at the outset, so I guess one could say I prefer hypermodern. However, it depends on the situation. If I am playing someone who makes illogical opening moves, I tend to play more centrally. Usual favorite opening moves...Nf3, with d4 a close second
classical all the way yo. thats how all the grandmasters played and thats how they will keep playing until the end of chess time. especially since bobby fisher said the most famous of quotes, "E4 I win!!". now thats classic.
Really? All GMs play classical openings? Really? Maybe we should start listing all of the ones who did not... or even the ones who used a healthy mix of both styles, depending on the situation -- Kasparov, Fischer, Reti, Keene, Nimzowitsch, even Capablanca. Oh, wait! Almost every GM has employed an Indian defense at some point or another. That's hypermodern, so...
yo that aint right yo. why do you think classical has been analyzed so much?? because you gotsa betta chance at winnin than if you "hippomonarize" or wathever nonsense you calls it. im gangsta and from my 5o cent book i bought at goodwill it always says, "play ruy lopez GM or you a busta, fool." now dont play wit me cause ill e4 yo ass on outta heer. ya heard?
