how does black respond to (or deviate from) this? honestly i never saw a point to playing the czech . its like a hanham philidor with an extra queen move in exchange for the dangerous f4, and the main advantage it has (allowing the queen bishop to develop ) is prob to whites advantage as he must swap it the minute its challenged, something which white is happy to oblige to. Im happy to be proven wrong though.

Well, there is 6…exd4, 6…Nbd7. 6….Bg4 7.Be3 Nbd7 is main line, too. 
The computer always starts with +1 but it’s not easy. In the majority of games I am better in the early middle-game. There are uncountable refutation suggestions - go ahead, make my day^^

i fail to see how this is better than just playing a hanham philidor , why allow f4 or lose the bishop pair ?

Then the course is just perfect for you. Many black quick wins below ten moves incl.

Random example which I had many times. Not forced but one of those many nice bycatches.

I recommend to watch the trailer video improving Giri vs. Firouzja. This is the Czech dream, extremely good for Black. One obtains such positions time and again.
