♛ Find the Pirc Defense variations shown in the video in this blog-post –

In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov presents an opening crash course on the Pirc Defense, which arises after the moves 1.e4 d6. The Pirc Defense offers many perks: it is a simple opening system, easy for beginners to learn, and provides powerful attacking opportunities for Black.

One of the main advantages of this opening is that Black can place their king to safety within 5-6 moves, thus avoiding the potential dangers of getting checkmated in the early stages. Additionally, the Pirc Defense is deceptive; it may appear that Black is making normal developmental moves, but they have underlying aggressive intentions.

Watch the full video lesson to learn the general opening theory, common responses and variations from White, including the Austrian Attack and the Classical Variation, as well as some middlegame attacking plans for Black.
