    At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fba2pGsdPc&amp;t=1595">26:35</a>, after black’s pawn is taken at h4, he could have won white’s queen by placing his rook at E8.

    This was an exciting game! I am starting now to use the Philidor defense. The basics of its opening is simple but one has to a lot thought before some moves. I see the advantage of the Queen exchange. Defending the King is much easier without the Queens. Thanks so much for sharing. I am 66 and trying to relearn chess. In high school (ancient history), I was once a decent player.

    Personal preference but i prefer the modern defense &nbsp;i feel like it allows more flexibility to either attack in the center or queen side

    Great, authentic video! I really appreciate that you showed the entire game, even though it maybe didn&apos;t go as planned at first. It made the whole experience feel much more genuine. Your explanations also helped me understand the ideas behind the moves much better. Thanks for sharing!
