Hypermodernism is a school of chess that emerged after World War I. It featured challenges to the chess ideas of central European masters, including Wilhelm Steinitz's approach to the centre and the rules established by Siegbert Tarrasch. The ground principle of hypermodernism is the idea that one should control the center of the chess board indirectly with pieces, rather than occupying that area with pawns.
