The Ultimate Pirc
320 pages, paperback, Batsford Chess, 1. edition 1998
Discontinued
Full coverage of one of Black's most daring openings
The Pirc Defence is a sharp hypermodern opening, in which Black tempts White into establishing a pawn centre with the idea of rapidly undermining it. Its unbalanced nature ensures exciting play and almost invariably this ends in a decisive outcome. Leading modern exponents include Timman, Seirawan, Speelman and Beliavsky. Here John Nunn and Colin McNab, both experts on the Pirc Defence, present complete and comprehensive coverage of all key lines. Building on John Nunn's earlier work The complete Pirc, this book has been revised and expanded to provide the ultimate battle manual for players of both the Black and White sides.
Dr John Nunn is a leading grandmaster. He is the only writer to have won the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award on two occasions. Dr Colin McNab became Scotland's second grandmaster in 1992.
