Hypermodern openings are quite unorthodox and one usually requires lots of experience to actually benefit from it. Chess books do not usually recommend it, it's risky in some sense

A hypermodenist thinks differently from a classical player, their aim is to let the opponent set up their center so that they can attack it.
You can try to play chess in yahoo online games, its free.
i now trying it on yahoo
and it really need experience
coz sometimes i will be late to capture enemy pawn
make them have strong defend on middle
and those pawn maybe can threatening my 'knight' or 'bishop' which is aim at middle

sometimes i feel that Frence Defense can counter hypermodem opening...

i like chinese chess cannons

and some more can block the horse. and that the king is limited to that small box.
but i play int'l chess more. i remember once, i played against my school's best chess player.
classmates, so we that single game was held when we had nothing to do.
i finished him off with less than 10 moves on my side. LOL. man i could remember how shock he was, champion got beaten by someone who doesn't play much. i guess he under-estimated me.
Chinese Chess Cannon??
the most famous and strongest opening is "dang tou pao"
but better dun play "dang tou pao" with me
