Book/CD Instuctional Question

While some of his opening theory is a bit out of date today, Philidor was both a surprisingly modern player and an excellent, detailed annotator whose writings were considered useful learning tools into the mid-19th century.

For some time, I have been thinking about creating either an instructional book or CD based on Philidor's writings and using his own words (plus plenty of tactical problems taken from his 60-odd games).

Before commiting to the project, I wanted to canvass opinion. Would anyone be interested in this?


Thanks everyone.

i would like a philodor book.....just a question..why no games played?

book would be better than cd i think
