At the end of my two hour lessons, if time permits, I sometimes play casual games against my students. On Tuesday, I tried a new move 7...Bd6 in the Philidor Counter Gambit during one such game, at a time control of 20 minutes per player.
Instead of revealing my student's ICC handle, I will give his initials.
