I find myself liking the Philidor's defense, and want to become better at it. I want to see if you guys have any tips.
"Tips"? Yeah, read an opening book.
So? I cant find an opening book. why else would I start the forum? Also fianchetto the dark squared bishop.

Used lucas chess gui & stockfish 16.1 (5 sec analysis /move) to eval your study @lgroene

Blunders ____________ 0 - 1 (1)
If I look only at the zeros, it would mean to me that there was nothing brilliant, good, or interesting in that study.
Seems like the opening was memorized and the middle game played by an average player.
Thanks for your study, but I wonder how I would play it. Let me check...
