I despise all players of the Philidor. I'm playing one of them atm. Way to punish one of these 2...d6 playing bastards. grrrr! What a travesty of a move. I see you prefer the Nxd4 line. I'm fond of the less played Qxd4 (In bullet games I like to follow-up with the entirely unsound Qa4, Qb3, Bc4).

That h6 square might as well have a big neon sign next to it saying "sac here"!

Open 1.d4 and you'll not encounter many 1....,e5 players.
Problem solved 😀

1.d4...yuck! Why would anyone want to avoid the Sicilian from any side? If your not trying to play the Sicilian you shouldn't be playing chess! 😉 In fact, I think we could improve chess 10-fold by just starting from 1.e4 c5.

This reminds me, I've got a new opening question for my openings thread.

Cos c4 can lead to the sicilian with colours reversed.

And you've forgotten the kings indian defense.
