98_C00_- Reversed Philidor (Attack)
Compiled by nbabcox
--*--

Reversed Philidor ('KIA w/o g3/Bg2' but w/ Be2)
Philidor setup w/ White - you start with 1 e4 and then play d3, Nd2, Nf3, Be2, etc.

"Club players shouldn't slavishly copy the choices of grandmasters. GMs need to squeeze every drop of advantage from the opening and therefore play highly complex lines that require large amounts of memorization. The main necessity for club players is to emerge from the opening with a reasonable position, from which you can simply play chess and pit your own tactical and positional understanding against that of your opponent. <Gerard Welling> and Steve Giddins <recommend the Old Indian-Hanham Philidor set-up as a basis for both Black and White.> They provide ideas and strategies that can be learned in the shortest possible time and require the bare minimum of maintenance and updating. They deliver exactly what you need: rock-solid positions that you know how to handle. By adopting a similar set-up for both colours, with similar plans and techniques, you further reduce study time. With this compact and straightforward opening approach, Welling and Giddins argue, club players will have more time to focus on what is really decisive in the vast majority of non-grandmaster games: tactics, positional understanding and endgame technique." https://www.amazon.com/Side-steppin...
