Philidor (1726 - 1795) was the greatest chess master of the 18th century. Already in 1749 his work "L'Analysis du jeu des Echecs" was published with his chess strategy. Its contents are still of great importance today, it was a groundbreaking work. Philidor's sentence "The pawns are the soul of chess..." became legendary.
