Description
The Pirc Defence. Ambitious, Counter-Attacking, and Fully Updated.
The Pirc Defence is one of Black's most ambitious weapons against 1 e4. Black invites White to build an imposing centre — then strikes back and attacks it. When Black's strategy succeeds, White's centre collapses. When it fails, Black must be ready to defend. It's high-stakes, dynamic chess.
In this volume of the Chess Developments series, James Vigus — author of the acclaimed The Pirc in Black and White — examines the most theoretically important and instructive Pirc games since that publication, highlighting the key developments and novelties for both sides.
What's Inside:
- Essential, up-to-date coverage of the Pirc Defence
- Critical lines and powerful new ideas for White and Black
- Analysis of the most instructive recent games
- User-friendly design to help you absorb and retain key information
