Chess Editorial Review
The "Hippopotamus Defence" has garnered a positive reception among chess enthusiasts, particularly those seeking depth and novelty in their opening repertoire for Black. The book, authored by Eric Briffoz, introduces readers to this unconventional and flexible opening system that challenges the norms of traditional chess openings. Reviewers laud its ability to breathe new life into the game, providing an alternative strategy for players eager to explore beyond familiar terrain. With the Hippo's emphasis on calm and prepared play, it invites players to dilute their opponents' early advantages and venture into uncharted strategic territories. Readers have found the book to be a valuable resource that combines theoretical depth with practical insights. It offers a comprehensive look into various setups, detailing the Full Hippo as well as several Semi-Hippo configurations. The author’s clear exposition of tactical motifs and pawn breaks enriches the reader’s understanding, although some reviewers noted that the book can occasionally feel 'jumpy' given the breadth of its coverage. The inclusion of games featuring players below 2200 ELO is viewed positively, as many practice games will involve opponents at a similar skill level. Moreover, the book encourages exploration and experimentation, which can lead to surprising outcomes, even against stronger players. The Hippo Defence is highly regarded for its ability to create unfamiliar positions for opponents, thus granting it a strategic edge. Overall, the Hippo opening is seen as a playful and profound strategy that has revitalized interest in chess for many players, particularly as they seek to avoid the stale patterns that can permeate established openings. **
