Chess Openings: The Hippopotamus Defense is Good for White too!
The Hippopotamus Defense is a top tier chess opening for black which is a good option for beginner chess players and intermediate chess players. The Hippopotamus Defense has good chess opening strategy, chess opening theory, and chess opening principles. However, the Hippopotamus Defense is generally considered to be a chess opening for black. But, just as this is an easy chess opening for black which can help you win more games, the same can be done if you are playing chess with the white pieces as well!
Here is our description of learning to play the Hippopotamus Defense from the black perspective:
"Against the best chess openings for white, there are many strong chess openings for black such as the French Defense, Scandinavian Defense, Caro-Kann Defense, Sicilian Defense, Pirc Defense, King's Indian Defense, Slav Defense, Nimzo-Indian Defense, Benko Gambit, etc. However, these chess openings are extremely popular and well known. How can we as black take white out of opening theory, while keeping the chess opening strategy at a high level? In today's video, we cover the Hippopotamus Defense which works against any chess opening played by white including e4, d4, the English Opening, Bird's Opening, King's Indian Attack, etc. The Hippopotamus Defense includes black fianchettoing both bishops, and placing the knights directly in front of the king and queen. The Hippopotamus Defense may seem positional and drawish at first glance. However, I believe the Hippopotamus Defense to be a dangerous chess opening for black or white, as it holds a ton of potential for attacking chess. One advantage of this chess opening is that it doesn't create any weaknesses in the position. In addition, the Hippopotamus Defense is extremely easy to learn, but is still a very good chess opening. Hippopotamus Defense keeps a high level of chess opening strategy, chess opening moves, chess opening theory, chess opening principles, chess opening tricks, chess opening traps, chess opening tips, and chess opening fundamentals. This is a very good chess opening for beginners and intermediate chess players. Chess moves, ideas, principles, strategy, tricks, lines, variations, tactics, secret checkmate strategy, fundamentals, theory, and traps are all important in chess openings, and the Hippopotamus Defense covers them all! The Hippopotamus Defense is one of the best chess openings for black, and best chess openings for white."
As mentioned at the end, the Hippopotamus holds all of these same ideas but as a top tier chess opening for white. It is the same exact system except for the fact that you get an extra move when playing the chess opening for white. We hope you enjoy this video, and enjoy learning some chess strategy and chess theory along the way!
