Anti-pirc

Submitted by Pirc-defence on Tue, 04/07/2009 at 11:27am.

As far as I know, there isn't an article about any Anti-Pirc lines. So I'm glad to show this interesting one (it is called the delayed spike).... I used to play the Pirc a lot (as my name indicates), so I know this is a dangerous line!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you can use this Delayed Spike in a future game of yours....have fun!

Well, I don't really get your point...you would lose a piece for two pawns that way!?

I guess you missed the queen as Catalyst mentioned...

Why not after 3. g4, ...Nxg4 4. Bxg4..Bxg4, etc winning a pawn or did I miss something tactically here?

This is actually called the Chinese variation. It does lead to very lively games.
