    Philidor
    • 3. d4
      Most common method for combating the Philidor.
      • 3... Bc8g4
        ?! Seems to basically force white into gaining an advantage afterwhich white must either: lose the right to castle, lose the two bishops, or lose a pawn.
        • 4. dxe5 dxe5
          ? Black would have been better off playing Bxf3 first to avoid the queen trade. This line gives up a pawn and the right to castle!
          • 5. Qd1xd8 Ke8xd8 6. Nf3xe5 Bg4e6 7. Bc1d2 f6 8. Ne5f3 f5 9. e5
            !? The pawn trade seemed bad because of the activity that Black's Light bishop gets!
            • 9... Nb8c6 10. Nb1c3 Bf8b4 11. O-O-O Bb4xc3
              ? Losing the two Bishops for nothing?
              • 12. Bd2xc3 Kd8c8 13. Nf3g5 Be6xa2
                ? Blunder. a common trapping theme here.

                  Black can destroy White's kingcover in order to try for come counterplay, but he doesn't really have many pieces let to attack. Not to mention he is about to lose his h8 rook! Always develop before pawn hunting.

                    ?? It seems like this has to be the decisive mistake. Here we find a very common mating theme. White has all the pluses after his next move.
                    • 17. Bf1a6
                      Now mate cannot be prevented.
