| Sep-21-05 | | RookFile: So, this is Philidor's defense
( 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 Nd7
4. Nc3 Nf6 5. Bc4 etc. ) with the colors reversed and an extra move.In these types of games, black should
consider playing 5... Be7 rather
than 5.... Bc5. As happenned in this game, white can use his extra tempo to get b4 in, which gives him a little something. |

| | tpstar: You could also call this a Ponziani since White plays c3, but then d3 instead of d4. Or else Philidor's Offense. =) I prefer the Bishop on c5 versus e7 - more active, especially if Black trades ... de/de opening the center. Besides, Black can create an escape square with ... a5 (or ... a6 depending), also ... a5 hinders b4. |

| Sep-21-05 | | RookFile: Well, Pal Benko doesn't agree with
you. In his book, Pyschology in chess, he talks about playing the Hungarian Defense, with the colors reversed. This is very similar. He
was hoping to bait his opponent into
Bc5 so that he could hit him with b4,
and it worked.
When you have white, you have time to
get in something like a3 or a4 to make a safe haven for the bishop. But, playing black, a tempo down on the opening, evidently you don't quite have the time, and need to be more conservative with the bishop. |

No doubt this explains the popularity of the fearsome Hungarian Attack. I understand the Sicilian was developed in order to avoid it. |
