I guess you missed my link earlier given in February on this site: https://www.chesspub.com/cgi-bin/chess/YaBB.pl?num=1613204040/24#24.
In the second link I show the line which closes one of the mainlines of the Pirc-Czech opening. I guess it is probably the reason why topplayers don't play it anymore since 4-5 years at least in classical chess.

It has also been called the Pribyl Defense, after a Czech IM.

One recent-ish publication, ECO volume B1 (2020), had the ostensibly best-play lines as leading to a slight advantage for White.

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). FCO gives it a paragraph. So,.. kinda curious if any know of more recent sources and how it's regarded these days?  If I've missed any older threads on it here please feel free to link those too.

TIA,

Cathexis
