"Thanks Mac! Simple and clear explanations. You make the Pirc look easy my friend." - Chess.com Member Patzer24

"Very precise and encyclopedic overview of Pirc. Definitely I will play this defense. White has space but Black has dynamism. Your explanations give this idea a practical dimension. White's play seems more natural, but it's only window dressing. In reality, both sides need preparation and chances are equal." - Chess.com member manierist

Pirc Defense: Playing Against Roman's System!

There's nothing to fear but fear itself! IM Mackenzie Molner takes his life in his hands by challenging the Dzindzinator's recommendation for a White advantage (See the Pirc Defense for White series.), when he claims good counter-play and rough equality for Black with his own recommended system against White's 5.h3 variation.

Pirc Defense: Be3

Higher-rated and need to play for a win as black? That's a situation GM Kramnik finds himself in often, and one of his go-to weapons is the Pirc Defense. Here GM Molner shows the former champion's treatment of the so-called "150 Attack" in which white plays an early Be3 and often follows with f3. Molner continues to advocate for the ...a6 lines, and warns not to fianchetto too early. If Kramnik can play it against a pair of 2600s, surely you can too!
