Hypermodern Theory

Thanks for all the great replies, guys. So, I take it that there are two distinct sets of chess principles: classical and hypermodern. No? And is the major, or only, point of contention between these theories the business about controlling/occupying the center?

I think in this age of computers, there is less emphasis on theories and more focus on reality. Remember, theories are only put in place for guidance. A set of heuristics. You must figure if such move is the correct one by calculating and evaluating the position. Some hypermodern ideas are correct, others not. Some classical ideas are correct, some are not.
