No not really. That kind of set up for white is considered 'ideal' because the 2 pawns are controlling the centre on d4 and e4, the 2 knights are at their ideal squares c3 and f3, and the 2 bishops are on their most active squares c4 and f4. However, black will have something to say about all this and unless the black player plays the opening terribly white cannot achieve all this.
Does this opening have name?

Thanks

+1
it is very less that you could setup this kinda opening
White's response to the Hippo. Its basicaly the hippo but in a different variation. Normally this would be a hippo response
but this is the 2nd response lol
white has a dominate sqaures so black is kinda trapped. Also if its not the hippo it just looked similar
I saw this opening in a couple different places? Does it have name?
Thanks,
