    The modern protection of Philidor is a very strong, strategically rich debut with a wide variety of pawn structures, which can become your primary weapon in response to 1.e4. As a rule, White studies this protection in the last place, because they have enough urgent problems in other open and half-open principles, and meanwhile, the game of "general considerations" is contraindicated here. How many times has it been that the whites, lulled by the "timid" appearance of the rival, unwittingly relaxed, began to act superficially and reminisced only when their party was already inevitably rolling under the slope! It is no accident that the protection of Filidor included in its repertoire dozens of leading contemporary grandmasters, including representatives of the elite. The new work of the well-known journalist, international master Vladimir Barsky is both a textbook and a reference: to quickly include the new scheme in the repertoire, it is enough to study the Brief Overview and sample games, and the section "Step by Step" will help to penetrate deeper into the secrets of the debut.
