Checked on my database and got no hits and was wondering if anybody had a larger one to check. thanks for any help here is the opening.

The kingside attack idea is how I ended up winning the game. Yeah I noticed the transposition into the philidors.

What is black's strategy behind 3...e5?  It appears that this move would result in a queen trade on the 5th move that puts black at a disadvantage.

After dxe5 and black recaptures with dxe5, doesnt black lose the ability to castle then?

Yes, he loses the ability to castle, but that's not such a big deal with the queens off.
