In such a symmetrical position is it really that bad for black to concede the bishop pair and accept the queen trade? It seems drawish.

Your chess lectures deserve to be watched over and over again until the ideas are firmly implanted in the viewer's mind. Thank you so much for making them!
I have lost count of the number of times I've watched your Stonewall Legacy series. On the other hand, I know most of the Stonewall lines in and out now.

At the end of the vid, would it be a bad move to sacrifice the light squared bishop instead of retreating it?

@BlackArt1 2.Bc4 isn't really a line, it could lead to many different openings. There are some unique positions that can only be reached via 2.Bc4, known as the Bishop's Game. I'm not really an expert on this move although I have tried it a few times. 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Be7? is already a mistake due to 3.Qh5! I had that position in a game once a long time ago and didn't notice this! I played 3.Nc3 instead, but I still won.

@IBOUGHTYAMOM What lines of the Philidor are concerned 'modern'? I saw that book, but from the reviews I have read it doesn't cover anything new.
