Hippopotamus Defense (Setup, Ideas, and Examples) - Chess Openings

This video goes over the Hippopotamus Defense, otherwise known as the hippo. I cover the plans, ideas, and example games in the Hippopotamus Defense. The hippopotamus defense targets the center in an unusual way. Rather than putting pawns on the center, you place your pieces in a way that supports the later pawn strikes of f5, e5, d5, and c5. If you have any questions about the Hippopotamus Defense after watching this video, I would be happy to answer them in the comments. 💜 Subscribe for more ➤ https://rb.gy/cq6pvj ❗Comment down below any suggestions or ideas!
