Philidor Defense (15), imbalanced line
Today’s blog entry is a Chessmaster 10 game. This is the closest any opponent has come to the tricky Hanham Philidor line that leaves Black down significantly in material, but with a large lead in development. It would have been more instructional if CM would have followed book and entered the variation. Maybe next time (sigh).

Nice game....I only ever see this variation Bxf7, Nxf7 in blitz, and although ( as Black ) I know it isn't terminal, its still quite tense in a blitz game !
ReplyDeleteIn my game, I played 9...c6 rather h6, and White opted not to exchange.
