French Defense: Reversed Philidor Formation
Overview
French Defense: Reversed Philidor Formation is a specific line in the Open Games family (ECO C00), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It is reached after 9 plies of play, with the move sequence 1. e4 e6 2. d3 d5 3. Nd2 Nf6 4. Ngf3 Nc6 5. Be2.
The line refines French Defense: King's Indian Attack, which traces back to the root opening French Defense.
