1st
Gotta love the Hippo
Hippo is POG
Thanks for the great quality content
thank you again I love the hippo and im doing really well with it
Thanks for sharing hippo defence game .I play it too sometimes 😀.
This video is perfect for a Hippo player like myself. Looking forward for more hippo knowledge!
I think kamsky chess player used on his time this kind of strategy.
Appreciate the insight on the hippo defense.
is there a slightly different move order for the hippo (when playing as black), depending on whether white plays e4 or d4 first?
thank you !
Falling more and more in love with this defense! Thanks for the video Solomon!
Can it be played as white
a great teacher. fantastic videos
Hikaru just did a Hippo Speed run. Then I found your cool video, thanks for helping explain it. Could it be considered part of the Modern Opening G6?
curious if ths opening for black works against D4 Queens Pawn opening as well as E4? does it matter since the eventual set-up seems the same?
Hoping you get notices as I have no idea how old this game post is. That said, I have struggled to find a transcription of Gendry Chapukais 1996 game. You do not provide much information and you do not provide a transcription of the game which would be greatly helpful. Trying to follow the moves and using CC it is difficult to make my own transcription to use later for study, meditation, contemplation and etc. I, and certainly many other followers and subscribers would greatly appreciate that effort.
It is so good in bullet , I earned 150 points in one day playing this opening ,👍
Im Australian and when i see this in my game of chess i go CRIKEY
Edit im sorry mate iv lost the plot
Hmmm. One issue I have with this opening is that castling is largely out of the question, since you have to weaken your pawn structure in order to fianchetto your bishops.
Whyyy whyy board is mirrored, eh, is it stone from some other channel?
This comment section is disgusting. So many hippo players, I had no idea there were so many
Almost every trick in the book was so cleverly used in this game, Bravo for the initiative of Hypo player. Cool game Solomon! Thanks, .. Mike,
