white opening for pirc player
Hi, I like to play the pirc as black, but I have not found a white repertoire that I like as much as the pirc. I was wondering what do other pirc players play as white?

150 Attack
It's amazing how strong the 150 Attack can be against slightly dubious play. Here's a case in point. 7. h3 isn't necessary and 9 e5 is a fairly routine punt. By playing 9. .. Nd7 instead of 9. .. dxe5...

Pirc - James Vigus' Book
Could someone tell me what is the content/summary of this book. Is it a good complement to Alburt's Pirc Alert? Are those who bought this book happy with it and why?
Thanks
