Why the Philidor Defense is TRASH - Opening Traps w Zach

The Philidor defense is TRASH!

Jokes though, but any slip from black in the Philidor Defense will cost you the game, not to mention this is an actual joke at the GM level.

Here, I show you one opening trap that occurs after the 5...Nd7 blunder. Blunder that I found in chess legend Ruben Fine's book "The Middle Game in Chess".

I hope you enjoyed the video, definitely don't sub :)
