This is the line I normally play as black as seen in my graphic:
3...h6 is a very dubious move, and 5...c5 a very bad one.
Philidor counter gambit literature?

Why is h6 a very dubious move? Prevents the fried liver on f7.
If someone could post a graphic on how to deal with white after the knight takes on d4 in my graphic it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Brettseahawk - if you develop a new piece bringing it from your back rank closer to the centre of the board with each move, then you won't fall so far behind on development. In your diagram, White has two pieces in the centre while Black's pieces are all at home snug in their beds far from the coming battle.

Fried Liver is this :
Not an issue, because black has some way to play this opening, the "main" line being this one :
Black is supposed to have enough compensations for the pawn.
We could discuss about it during hours, thats another story.
Now, let's see with Philidor/Hannam move order :
So no need to lose a tempo with h6 preventing Ng5, u have other ways to do it.
In general that is a major problem for low level players : they are afraid (with or without good reasons) and they play defensive moves (instead of searching active moves), weakening their position (h6...), giving opponent advance development and initiative, then they lose and don't understand why...
This is the line I normally play as black as seen in my graphic:
c5 to back the knight off..because I feel like that's the only way to keep white from gaining control of the center of the board (very important) and dominating the game. I've tried several different lines but c5 seems to be the only one where I don't lose position/advantage or get slaughtered. However, I hate doing it because my pawn on d6 is left extremely vulnerable. Should I play a move other than c5 to protect the center, and if not, what series of moves after c5 should I use? Thanks.
