"A strong player requires only a few minutes of thought to get to the heart of the conflict. You see a solution immediately, and half an hour later merely convince yourself that your intuition has not deceived you."

#about_Philidor
โณ๏ธ Andrรฉ Danican Philidor
French chess master
๐ฐ Franรงois-Andrรฉ Danican Philidor often referred to as Andrรฉ Danican Philidor during his lifetime, was one of those rare artists known widely for two professional pursuits: musical composition and chess. In the latter endeavor, he was regarded as the unofficial world champion for most of the 50 years he was active in the game.
In 1744 Philidor played two chess games blindfolded simultaneously in public in Paris, a feat never before known to have been accomplished. In 1749 his "Analysis of Chess" was published in London, the first chess book to explain the openings, the middlegame, and the general strategy of chess. The book claimed that Les pions sont l'ame du jeu, a phrase that became widely known as 'the pawns are the soul of chess', a maxim known to chessplayers ever since. His name is associated with the endgame commonly called the Philidor position, which is among the most important fundamental endgame positions. Philidor's name is also associated with a fundamental chess tactic commonly known as Philidor's Legacy, a smothered mating pattern involving a queen and knight. However this is only a traditional name, as the tactic first appeared in print by a book by Luis Ramirez de Lucena. Philidor passed away in London, England in 1795.
