"The Pawns Are the Soul of Chess." The Philidor Defence, Fully Armed.

André Danican Philidor didn't just name this opening — he built a philosophy around it. The Philidor Defence is an opening underpinned by deep strategic thinking, and in modern chess it's more viable than ever. GM Victor Bologan delivers a complete Black repertoire built around the modern Pirc move order: 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5.

Black is not afraid of the endgame after 4.dxe5 — and Bologan proves it with high-level games and deep analysis. In modern chess, full of information and preparation, having fresh ideas and a solid opening is essential. The Philidor provides exactly that.

What This Course Covers (5 hours):

  • A full Black repertoire against 1.e4 via the Philidor/Pirc move order
  • The main line with 3...e5 — why Black is not afraid of 4.dxe5
  • All important sidelines: 3.Bd3, 3.f3, and more — nothing left unanswered
  • Multiple plan options in the main line — choose according to your style
  • New ideas and fresh analysis throughout

A Fritz Trainer video course — 5 hours of complete Philidor Defence instruction from one of the opening's leading experts.

The Philidor Defence. Solid, fresh, and fully armed. 5 hours of complete Black coverage.
