It is a defense whose philosophy is that of passiveness.

And I play it as Black, the passivity is like holding a balance. Once White pushes for more, the balance is upset and what was once -- is now /, where White has perhaps more chances, but at the cost of giving Black chances.  So you are right Black has temporary passiveness.

Very playable - delayed activity...

wtf hedgehog defence

waffllemaster

It can be very tense.  Not an easy defense for the lazy.  Because of the sometimes wild complications, I'm too afraid to try 3rd rank defenses like this and the hippo.
