Pirc -Czech Var. B07 - Sources and Current Status?
There doesn't seem to be much on this variation of the Pirc out there. Does it go by another name? Could only find one book on it on Amazon dated from the late 90's, though well reviewed (only twice)....

The Classical Pirc
Hi.
I just watched parts of GM Hammer's video series on 1.e4 for Chess24. Worth a look if you want some decent line to play that is not terribly hard to understand. He actually recommends on... Started 10/18/19 at 11:21:28 by Confused_by_Theory « Pages 1 2 all » |

About the line: 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Be3 Bg7 5.Qd2 c6 6.Bh6 (D) Let's have a separate thread. It's a fairly important line. There is more and more practice to go on in many o... Started 06/01/22 at 05:07:35 by Confused_by_Theory « Pages 1 2 all » |

Picking up the Pirc?
Hi guys,
I am looking for a new weapon that I can play regularly - even if not as my main weapon- against 1.e4. The Pirc (with the traditional move order 1...d6 and 2...Nf6) is based on various r... Started 04/19/21 at 08:06:34 by halbstark « Pages 1 2 all » |

Austrian Attack and The Modernized Modern
Although a little hard to be certain from the index provided on the publishers website it looks like the Modernized Modern deals with 5...c5 after 1 e4 d6 2 d4 Nf6 3 Nc3 g6 4 f4 Bg7 5 Nf3 c5.

Austrian 150 Attack
I've been experimenting with playing e4, d4, Nc3, Be3 and now f4.
It's not mentioned much in books, as chapters on the 150 Attack concentrate on the regular themes without mentioning the f4 idea ... Started 12/17/18 at 12:53:46 by RdC |
