[edit] Pirc Defence
[edit] 1...d6
In this opening, Black does not immediately fight for the center, but prefers to prepare counter-play while White advances his pawns.
If White dislikes this opening, he can play 2. Nf3 in order to transpose into the Sicilian Defence (2...c5) or into the Philidor Defence (2...e5).
If White agrees to play this defence, he has no reason not to build his pawn center with 2. d4.
