This is the fist part of the documentary about François Andre Philidor. In this video you will find the beautiful music of Philidor and his selected chess games.
François-André Danican Philidor was born on September 7th, 1726, in Dreux France. He was both a chess and musical prodigy--his first musical composition was played before King Louis XV when he was only 11 years old. He was taught chess by Kermur Sire De Legal, who initially gave him rook odds, until the young Philidor became too strong for his teacher.
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.
He passed away in London, England in 1795.
This is the first part of the Philidor’s music and chess games documentary series.
