If it's from black's point of view, shouldn't it be the other way around, with black pieces at the bottom? With no objection, I'll flip it (if I can figure out how). Llamabr (talk) 20:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Traditionally White is always at the bottom and Black at the top of a chess diagram. Sometimes the diagrams are given the other way, but that's unusual.  It would be very confusing to flip the board in a chess endgame since it often isn't clear where the players' home rows are late in the game, but for most openings including this one it wouldn't cause much harm.

 * Good point. White's usually at the bottom.  So in this case, I would suggest removing the claim "from black's point of view", or switching it. Llamabr (talk) 17:42, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think the caption needs to be changed to something like "Black has a hedgehog setup". Bubba73 (talk), 20:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

English
This article contained some British English, many openings articles are written in British English. Specifically "manoeuvre" vs "maneuver" (American English). (Someone changed to American; don't know if that's appropriate or not.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 05:12, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Generally it isn't OK to change the national variety of English in an article. See WP:ENGVAR for the details.  The earliest version I found of this article was in British English, so that's probably what should be used.  Quale (talk) 01:33, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
