Through a combination of key reference games and the analysis of a complete repertoire, this ChessBase Training video course helps you understand the essential themes, ideas, and resources needed to master this opening.•

The Pirc (1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6) is a dynamic opening that temporarily allows the opponent to control the centre, only to challenge it later in a more aggressive manner.

 

It leads to complex and often unbalanced middlegame positions, offering ample opportunities for counterplay, even against well-prepared opponents.

 

You will acquire a new strategic weapon for playing with the black pieces, capable of surprising your opponents, while providing real winning chances in rich and unpredictable positions.
