Hypermodern Chess

What are your thoughts on Hypermodern Chess...

which advocates controlling the centre of the board with distant pieces rather than with pawns,

thus inviting the opponent to occupy the centre with pawns which can then become objects of attack.

I think the Alekhines defense is rad and I want to start playing it against E4.

I guess I enjoy the hypermodern defenses to d4 (I used to play the Nimzo/Queen's Indian, and have recently been experimenting with the Grunfeld). I also have been trying out the Sicilian Dragon, which is somewhat hypermodern in style, I suppose.

Literary modernism is likewise old at a little over a hundred years by this point.  That's why we have post-modernism.  What will be interesting is to see what comes after that, i.e. hyper-post-modernism?

I love it.  I play Alekhines, Bird's, the Reti, other systems that break basic chess maxims.  :)
