		Choosing the Dutch Defence with the fl pieces is a clear signal that you are willing to go for the full point.
		It was high time for a publication to make the subtleties of this opening understandable also to the non-grandmaster, and this gap in chess literature now has been filled by FIDE master Martin Breutigam.

		However, it is also an attractive opening from a practical point of view as after 1.e4 e5 you needn't learn the numerous lines of the open games, but can immediately maneuver your opponent into the direction you like.
		Black´s defensive resources are based on a sound strategic foundation, and White must be alert at all times and willing to play forcefully and incisively in order to try to prove his advantage in positions with chances for both sides.
		More than 30 games extensively annotated by the author (there are all in all about 500 annotated games); a real gem are his 12 games in the training mode; 316 questions are posed, and answering them you can reach a maximum number of 924 points.

	Philidors Defence: Rubbish at club level? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		I feel I have some kind of basis to know what I'm talking about as (bearing in mind that my average score in Tasmania is about 75%) my lifetime record against the Philidors stands at +12=0-0.
		There is a Hobart player of around 1700 strength who has played it against me about 50 times in casual games and lost about 49 of those.
		I'm wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on the playability of the Philidors at club level, if anyone teaches their juniors to play it, if anyone knows anyone under say 2000 who plays it effectively, and so on.

		I would love to take on Kevin Bonham with my Philidor's defence any day.
		I regularly play it in tournaments and have great success with it (=2nd Hervey Bay Open on the weekend).
		The great Ronald Scott (2150) is also an avid Philidor's player - I doubt Mr Bonham's record against him would be so fantastic.

		The Chigorin Defence by Martin Breutigam is the latest CD from ChessBase in their rapidly growing Openings range.
		The Chigorin Defence comes about from the move order 1.d4 d5 2.c4 Nc6 and may not be the most popular because many players fear the fact that the c7 pawn is blocked.
		The opening may be less well analyzed compared to many of today's openings but it offers plenty of scope for new ideas to be discovered.

	Pirc Defence
		White may adopt a variety of setups to coutner Black's.
		Other approches are to play f3 to bolster the centre or to fianchetto the king's bishop with g3 and Bg2.
		A rarely seen early deviation is 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5 (Zurab Azmaiparashvilli has tried this a few times).

		This was notably felt on the death of Sir Abram Janssens and Philidor towards the end of the last century, and of Count Bruhl, Mr.
		Space precludes the admission of the sketches and comparisons of the chess careers of Philidor, Staunton, Anderssen, and Morphy, and confines us to the brief account of Philidor's extraordinary support and influence on the future of chess and such references as occur in the sketches of Simpson's.
		His work contains no account of Philidor or his works, nor of the progress of chess in this century up to 1860 when his own book appears, and makes no mention of modern chess events or players and it is an expensive work when viewed by popular notions on the subject.

		"The idea of this defence, introduced by Philidor (1749)," wrote Freeborough and Ranken, "is to protect the advanced king's pawn from the adverse knight before proceeding with Greco's Counter-Gambit, P-KB4." From February 1990 through the time of this writing in June 1996, I have essayed the Philidor Counter-Gambit on one-hundred-and-thirty-five occasions.
		Despite my many over-the-board successes, my proudest moments occurred when I observed other players (including an expert whom I have beaten four times with the PCG) adopting the defense themselves as Black.
		Perhaps, as a result of this book, the Philidor Counter-Gambit will be seen more frequently at chess tournaments.
