I suspect you could be recalling a passage from MCO-11:  "The Pirc is not a fighting defense.  It is fluid and slippery, with the object of closing the game and slowly equalizing ...".  Quaint.

Hi all,
Thanks for reading I am wondering 2 things
1. Which has the better reputation: the Classical Sicilian Or the Pirc/modern?   
2. which is better to play for the win!!???  The Classical sicilian or the pirc/modern?

I would pick the classical without thinking but the Richter Rauzer attack seems to spoil the fun!!   
Thanks,
Zatara


Where -- Nunn's Chess Openings? -- was said that the Pirc is more an attempt to maneuver into an equal middle game than a dynamic winning try.  I think that for the latter, it's very hard to beat 1...c5 in its more dynamic forms, of which the Classical is one.

Still if I played the Classical I would most of all worry about the Richter-Rauzer.

1. Classical Sicilian. You don't see the Pirc too much anymore in GM-games, mainly because of the Austrian Attack.
2. I have no idea.
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.
