Worthy Hippopotamus
I was born with a fondness for the lovely hippopotamus. It is not merely a large, dangerous (but worthy) animal. it is also the loveliest of chess openings. It takes chess into a fresh spring where every game is an adventure, even as people snicker in response (or even laugh out loud, sometimes rightfully). If I could be like a chess player, I'd choose Akiba Rubinstein, but with a pet hippo.
Wherever the hippo is cherished. United States
