    Одна из крупных заслуг Филидора состоит в том, что, в отличие от своих предшественников, он подверг дебюты систематическому научному исследованию. При этом, не ограничиваясь анализом отдельных дебютных возможностей, он стремился ныяснить общую ценность того или иного дебюта. Так, например, Филидор полагал, что после 1.е4 е5 ход 2. Bс4 заслуживает предпочтения перед 2. Nf3. К этому выводу он пришел на основании своих наблюдений относительно слабости пункта f7, который, по его мнению, следует стараться как можно скорее атаковать, а также на том основании, что 2. Nf3 препятствует продвижению f2-f4. Правда, продвижение это на 2-м ходу он сам считал слабым, но в позднейшей стадии оно представлялось ему вполне уместным. Исходя из тех же соображений, в ответ на 1.е4 е5 2. Nf3 он рекомендовал за черных 2...d6 (так называемая «защита Филидора» ) как наилучшую подготовку к f7-f5. В настоящее время 2. Nf3 считается более сильным, чем 2. Bс4, что же касается защиты (после 2. Nf3) 2...d6, то она признается возможной, хотя и дающей черным трудную игру, - нo, во всяком случае, не в ее первоначальной форме, т.е. в связи с 3...f5. To, что современная теория отвергла эти дебютные идеи Филидора, отнюдь не умaляет его заслуг. В области дебютов он проложил новые пути: он первый, исходя из общих принципов, пытался доказать превосходство одного дебюта перед другим. Как мы уже указывали, однако, главный вклад Филидора в шахматное искусство состоит не в этом. Гораздо большее значение имеют разработанные им общие методы и его теория пешечной игры, и в наше время еще сохранившая силу. Вот почему мы должны признать Филидора создателем позиционного метода, т.е. такого способа игры, который основан не на точном расчете огромного числа вариантов, а на общих принципах и правилах. В своем капитальном труде "Analyse des echecs» Филидор на материале примерно 9 тщательно проанилизированных им партий обосновывает свои правила. Далее он рассматривает некоторые эндшпили, причем и здесь его анализы до сих пор сохранили значение. Во второй части своего труда он излагает свой способ достижения мата слоном и конем, признаваемый и современной теорией самым логичным и сильным. Приведем одну партию из учебника Филидора, отлично иллюстрирующую его теорию пешечной игры. Примечания, заключеиные нами в кавычки, принадежат Филидору.
