  In your last game, you should have simplified the queen  side by taking the knight, so you keep the white king babysitting the passed pawn,  and attack the king-side wihte pawns.

  One can be master of opening OR middle game (deep positional calculations) OR end game.  This opening especially when the queens are traded off, it becomes  end game beginning.. if you are master of end games, this opening is simply superb as you take the game into your comfortable zone.

  Please make a video of how to play the Philidor against the Jobava London. It seems like the system doesn’t work in this case

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8wcfSQMuQA&amp;t=510">8:30</a> the pawn hater in me can only see <b>bxa3</b> gaining both annoying hidey hole pawns and opening EVERY possible line for black&apos;s pieces<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8wcfSQMuQA&amp;t=611">10:11</a> <b>Be2</b> &nbsp;gains a tempo on the queen and activates the bishop on an open diagonal

  This opening is WAY too strong. White is usually already lost after 8 or 9 moves into the game

  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8wcfSQMuQA&amp;t=2663">44:23</a> why didn&apos;t you just take the knight on e8 with the bishop on c6, instead of moving the king to h5

  time index 13;01 black to move Qxd8 &nbsp;( Rxd8 &nbsp; ) White responds with Rxd8 Bxd8 &nbsp; Nxb6 &nbsp;is losing for black. However you cut it black in this position is a whole piece down.. &nbsp;I think you and your &nbsp;other player have over looked this idea .. black will lose
