A hint: go to Google Translate and try to translate "Pirc" from Slovakian. Then listen to the pronounciation in Slovak. It's perfect!
Pirc. How to pronounce.
Sort:
I believe it's pronounced "pehr tz"
Pronounced Pierch

The problem, New, is if you pronounce it as you recommend (and I'm sure is the correct way) where I am, nobody will understand. It would be "peerk" here.
How to pronounce "Pirc" -> concern of patzers.
How to win with it -> not the concern of patzers.
What if someone has both concerns?
schizophrenia.
Better keeping defending the Ruy López, then.

There are more mis-pronunciations in the Sicilian Defense.
Scheveningen, Najdorf, Taimanov/Tajmanov, Maroczy/Maróczy
Many players even could not pronounce Alekhine and Euwe correctly.
A Russian friend taught me how to pronounce Alekhine, Kasparov, and Petrosian correctly.
As far a Euwe goes, your guess is as good as mine!
