    While some of his opening theory is a bit out of date today, Philidor was both a surprisingly modern player and an excellent, detailed annotator whose writings were considered useful learning tools into the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 be including all of the games I can locate in an index at the end, composed and original. It would probably also have a brief biography at the beginning.
