@mattfca Not really... take another look at blacks rook on g8...
-
I just love learning all I can of Philidore.
-
after e6 bishop can take the rook and skewer the other rook
-
@SpongeInPyjama Bishop cannot take because black rook pins it down.

Very interesting, KC, very interesting. I've been pondering the importance and usefulness of pawns myself, and it's good to see I'm not alone :)

The second game here is a very nice game. A thing of beauty..., I love the rook sac.
-and yes it does seem this Philidor fellow was way ahead of his time, or at least the two opponents you showed him play against , who chose to develope bishops, before knights, and not really play all that agressively.
I wonder what the settings looks like back then. The board, where they played, spectators ect. I believe you said this was late 1700's? hmm Well before the first easily taken pictures.

Simply Amazing KC. Great work and good research on your part. Even more amazing was Philidor's 2nd game you picked; in which he was able to move about all his pawn up by two ranks without loosing a piece. Never seen a game played like that. Thanks again and good to see you back as a teacher again.
