Curious tidbit re the 4. g3 Pirc Today I saw a video showing a recent game between two IMs; it was made by the player who was Black. The opening went 1. d4 Nf6 2. g3 g6 3. Bg2 Bg7 4. e4 0-0 5. Ne2 d6 6. 0-0 e5 7. Nbc3 c6 8. a4 and no... Started 06/24/24 at 17:55:07 by kylemeister	0	960	06/24/24 at 17:55:07 By: kylemeister
How to play against black lion Hi chessfriends! I am going to play an important game with white in the next days. My opponent is a black lion player, so my question would be: What is supposed to be the best line for white?<br ... Started 01/23/12 at 15:45:02 by cynima	2	4182	01/23/12 at 17:26:42 By: MNb

A new look at the Pirc Well E4 D6 is always a very arguable topic. The pirc has its supporters. I am not one of them but that is irrelavant for what i want to start here. Lets try and make a starting out place for the... Started 11/25/05 at 01:59:42 by basqueknight (Ex Member)	12	6862	11/29/05 at 06:07:50 By: JEH
Pirc Move Order Issues Hi guys, I noticed a while back that certain readers of James Vigus's recent work on the Pirc were complaining that he didn't cover move orders such as 1.e4 d6 2.Nc3 or 2.f4. This is a vali... Started 04/02/08 at 01:20:05 by Edward Dearing	8	6245	04/22/08 at 13:41:25 By: Stigma
Does anyone own "New Ideas in the Pirc Defence"? A friend owns "New Ideas in the Nimzo" and it is a great book. Is this book similiar? I understand it is what...9 years old, but all I own on the system is Starting Out: Pirc/Modern. I like both s...

Nakamura and the Rat Has anyone noticed that GM Hikaru Nakamura is playing the Rat (the Modern) regularly recently or has he played this for some time (and I have been missing stuff??)?

2.Nc3 vs. Pirc I doubt this is very common, but was wondering what other Pirc (I've just decided to play the Pirc) players do against this system (a system I've used many times as White in speed games). After 1... Started 01/08/04 at 23:50:56 by Glenn Snow	10	7153	03/14/04 at 15:51:33 By: Ben_Hague
Basic question 'bout Pirc/Modern Is possible to play the Pirc and/or modern defense without playing KID agains 1.d4 (I´m concerned about transpositions)? Started 05/12/04 at 10:50:00 by lsf	6	4597	09/26/06 at 01:34:12 By: Michael Ayton

Pirc Austrian 8.exd6 Novelty or Bad move? Would the Pirc community take a look at this line that a master played against me the other night in a G/30 at the local chess club. 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.f4 Bg7 5.Nf3 c5 6.Bb5+ Bd7 7.e5 Ng...

A question for new in chess yearbook addicts :) Hi guys, I have developed some interest for the line 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Be2 0-0 6.0-0 a6 !? In his Pirc work Vigus says this was extensively analized in 3 successive NIC Ybs (7... Started 09/25/09 at 20:21:08 by Chess_Addict	4	4385	09/30/09 at 10:58:34 By: Chess_Addict
Pirc, 4 Be3 a6!? My interest in the Pirc has been completely rekindled/transformed since I realised recently that it was respectable for Black to meet 4 Be3 with 4 …a6!?, as played recently by Kramnik, so I thought I’...

Pirc Classical 6...Nc6 7.d5 Ne5!? [B08] I was just checking the March update from IM Sam Collins where he states that white has next to nothing in the opening. Download game in pgn format Now I wonder if he talks about 9.Bg5 which I analyzed heavily last year. It looks to me as a nice try for some advantage although I admit things can quickly become extremely complicated. http://chess-brabo.blogspot.com/2015/05/prophilaxis.html Started 03/07/16 at 09:50:18 by brabo	6	5490	03/07/16 at 14:47:45 By: Michael Ayton

Classical Pirc What is the current status of the Classical Pirc? It seems to me that much of the talk about the sad demise of the Pirc surrounds the Austrian and 150 Attack lines.

Question about ch 1 in SO Pirc/Modern 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. f4 Bg7 5. Nf3 c5 It's rather basic.

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.
