Watching the pieces move on the chessboard I wonder how well it keeps up if you get into a time scramble.

Move and companion. Nice.<br><br>How do you like the companion? I thought about buying one, but the price is so high.

Here is a question - Usually people advise you to attack in the direction of your central pawns are pointing (and in the Philidor, they usually point to the kingside e5 & d6)). Yet, you are usually advising we make a queenside attack with this opening. Can you explain this?

Hmm i thoughtbhe could play Ne6: instead of Ndf3... if you take back with fe6: then Re6... bishop on e7 is hanging and there is a discovered check... well i didnt check it with comp, so i am maybe totaly wrong. :)

You should have taken Qxa2 instead of Qe2 and you knight adventure was forgetting a principle of king protection as your pawn formation was already weakened by the pawn on g6.

I've got to agree with a couple of the posters here. At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLEGgRdQ1BY&t=690">11:30</a>, you state that 13 Nxe6 "is not possible", but engines think it's SO STRONG that they'll prefer to reply 13..Re8 INSTEAD OF RECAPTURING the N on e6!
