Traps in the Philidor Defence
White moves this Bishop
And puts his Knight here
In order to take this pawn
Give up his Queen
And win the game!
In the Main line, White moves this pawn forward
To put pressure onto e5
1. Black can take this pawn
And counterattack White’s central pawn
Counterattack it immediately
Or defend it by moving the Knight
Here White responds by moving his Bishop
And the Knight here
In order to set another trap
