Introduction to the Hedgehog

The Hedgehog is a versatile system most often employed by Black, but occasionally by White. It is characterized by a defensive 6th-rank (or 3rd rank) a6/b6/d6/e6 pawn structure – the “quills” of the Hedgehog! In this live lesson broadcast on my Twitch page, I present three games and describe the typical plans and ideas in this setup.
