The Pirc defence is one of Black's most aggressive systems, leading to a sharp strategic and tactical struggle in which both players have chances to win. The author surveys the current state of theory in all lines and explains the strategic ideas, concentrating on variations likely to be met. John Nunn is a Grandmaster and the author of other books on chess, including "The Benoni for the Tournament Player".
