Pirc Defence[edit | edit source]
1...d6[edit | edit source]
The Pirc Defence is a modern opening and a response to white’s 1.e4, black gives up the centre and refuses to fill it with pawns but instead builds up slowly with d6, The Pirc Defense is quite rarely seen but can be played and it’s a solid response.
If White dislikes this opening, White 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, White has no reason not to build its pawn center with 2. d4.
