Kurzbeschreibung
The Hedgehog is a thoroughly modern defense where flexibility and understanding trump rote memorization. Using deeply annotated critical games from international practice, GM Sergey Shipov traces the Hedgehog's development - from its origins as a way to avoid well-trodden paths to its current status as a respected weapon in Black's armory. The Hedgehog has been adopted by the likes of Tal, Larsen, Adams, Kasparov, Kamsky, and Karpov. Drawing on decades of experience playing this defense, Shipov has put together much more than a simple opening manual full of variations. The author meticulously explains strategic themes, typical formations, move-order subtleties, and explores the thorny question: Is the Hedgehog a theoretically sound opening - and does that really matter? Along the way, the reader gets to see the mind of a grandmaster hard at work, and is treated to a lesson on one of the most important skills in chess: how to evaluate a position. Shipov shares his approach to chess and life, and his passion for both, in this entertaining, philosophical, and highly readable work.

Sergey Shipov deals with the English Hedgehog which arises after White fianchettos his king's bishop, e.g. 1. c4 Nf6 2. Nc3 c5 3. Nf3 e6 4. g3 b6 5. Bg2 Bb7 6. 0-0 Be7, focusing on the two main replies 7. d4 and 7. Re1. After a historical introduction, the book is organized along White's various plans: quick attack on the d6 pawn, early exchange on f6 and so on. The Hedgehog is presented in complete games which Shipov analyzes in detail, often branching out into amazing variations. He does an outstanding job illustrating the balance between White's space advantage and Black's counterattacking potential. There is often a detailed assessment of the resulting endgames. The latest game in the book is Carlsen's Hedgehog win against Kramnik in 2008 (maybe Carlsen should stick to that opening:-). The annotations are very instructive and entertaining, although reading about the 'spiny woodland creature' 100 times can be a bit tiresome (probably Shipov's quirky style is difficult to translate). There is no variation index, which is consistent with the style of the book.
Recommended to strong players (>2000) who have the Hedgehog or the English opening in their repertoire; or indeed anyone who likes good chess books.

There aren't enough stars in the universe

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Good grief it's hot in the kitchen for opening writers these days. If you want to write a best of breed opening manual you are going to have to beat this one. Good luck.
This is spectacular. The book you have dreamed of. I hope you like playing or defending the Symmetrical English or you are going to miss a real treat.
In one concise, readable, staggeringly well organized book Shipov has introduced to readers the inner truths of the English Hedgehog. He does this in the best way possible - by showing you the development of ideas in the opening over time so that you can see how the theory developed and why good moves are good and others are inaccurate. In excruciating detail. The games are all deeply annotated (with words) and beautifully chosen to illustrate his points. No stone is left unturned. 7.d4 and 7.Re1 are about equally represented.
Shipov loves the Hedgehog and wants you to play it as Black but he teaches it in the context of White's plans, so the book is equally useful for the White side. This is a very reasonable plan because the Hedgehog is a reactive, opportunistic opening and White's successful plans are limited and very deliberate.
This book is very very accessible but will doubtless be clutched by many a Master. The production quality of the book is unsurpassed. We have a new top flight publisher it seems.
Perhaps the most remarkable and unfamiliar thing about this book is its elegant and engaging prose style. It is a pleasure to read such a wonderful meld of playfulness, passion and precision. It is almost literary in character, reminiscent of but perhaps surpassing Mihail Marin. The author has embraced this project in a spirit of true generosity and his good intentions color every page. This Russian might just have written the most exquisite chess book in the English language!

This is a stalker opening
4. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I enjoyed this book after reading the first two sections. I will update the star rating when I complete it. This is not a defensive opening that establishes CONTROL of the centre or either wing for Black. You must develop PATIENCE and MANEUVERING ABILITY like Petrosyan...be ready to react when provoked! The Hedgehog defense is a stalking one against e4. Black aligns his pawns and pieces to open up the position with moves b5 or d5. White meanwhile has freedom to command the centre and space majority.
The critical point is reached when the decision is made for attacking and counterattacking, which is initiated by white..or black! Words of warning....This defense is not for the faint-hearted or planless player! Black usally only has kingside castling ability and White may castle queenside and parlay all resources on the Black king (see chess books on The English Attack). Shipov provides guidance dealing with this attack and others in this book but, putting this theory into practice will depend on YOUR play! Also the author is adamant about "move-order" tendancies which help Black avoid complications VERY EARLY and convinces White to launch an attack ahead of schdule....to his peril!
All in all, this is a very easy opening to learn and leads to very DYNAMIC positions. It is not a guaranteed win for either side (which opening really is?) but makes the struggle arduous (blow for blow) requiring calculation and creativity (who says chess isn't artistic?). This is a theorist/player's dream, full of positional, strategical and tactical variations at each turn and works against whichever opponent you may face. Chessplayers can definitely have some fun after learning the BASIC piece placement and manuevers (every piece has a specific role and position in the Hedgehog) for this opening. Enjoy ya'll!! More to come later.....

Absolutely wonderful!

Because of the myriad transpositions, the Hedgehog defies systematic treatment. Shipov's book is light years beyond Suba's because it imposes an evolutionary order that helps us make some sense out of this confusion.
All the good things said in the other reviews are true! Please note, however, that you may get limited use from this book if you're under 1800. You can't force the Hedgehog (or force someone to play the Hedgehog against you), it's not a popular opening among players under 2000, and I've only had a couple Hedgehog games in the past couple years.
But certain "Hedgehog skills" will certainly transfer to other openings.
