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)
