Play the Philidor Defense today.
Since Philidor is alleged to have never played the Philidor Defense, it may be more appropriate to play the French Defense on Bastille Day. Vive la France.
Happy Bastille Day!
Sincerely,
Marquis de Sade
Did Philidor play that, either?
Bill Smythe
Four years ago our club celebrated Bastille Day by asking that everyone that evening play either the French or Philidor over French wine. Fun evening.
