Why The Pirc?

"The Pirc (is) a very logical choice:

• It's completely sound, having been relied on by some of the best players in the world, including super-solid world champion Mikhail Botvinnik.
• It rewards ideas rather than rote memorization.
• It uses all the ideas so far developed in chess, from classical to modern.
• It's a flexible approach that offers the second player a variety of choices.
• Its theory can be reduced for Black to a relatively small completely understandable portion.

This last point is very important for nonprofessionals.  But no matter who you are, chess makes you practical.  There's a lot to learn in chess.  A player who wants to improve can't spend all of his time keeping up on only one phase of the game."
