PHILIDOR'S DEFENCE
to Steinitz / Legall Variations
Black's QP push defended his KP and freed his QB.
White develops his King's Bishop to QB4(c4) and controls Q5(d5), targets the Black king's relatively weak KB2(f7) and enables castling. This position, also reachable from the Bishop's Opening, can lead via 3..B-Kt5 to a Legall's Mate example. W-Alt.
