Publisher's Synopsis
The Pirc Defence and the Modern Defence are two naturally entwined chess openings that are flexible and rich in strategic and tactical ideas. They feature in the repertoire of great players such as Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, and Vasyl Ivanchuk. In this updated edition of Moskalenko's 2013 book, 33 of the 42 games are new, with fresh ideas on every page.
