Pirc: Simplified

This World Champion’s Asymmetric Defense To
1.e4 Never Lacks Counterplay
Ditch the memory contest. Let White drown in 1,000s of pages of theory. You won’t need more than 200 lines to outplay them. Give them the center, too. Because once your bishop locks in on g7— and your pawn breaks start hitting from every direction — even the nastiest enemy set-ups will crack!
Enter Pirc: Simplified by Grandmaster Rustam Kasimdzhanov.
He’s the 2004 FIDE World Champion.
His strategic IQ and tactical vision make him a natural fit for the Pirc Defense.
Kasimdzhanov scored 9 out of 11 to bring home the 1998 Asian Championship. He earned first-board bronze at the 2000 Chess Olympiad. Then he went undefeated to win the 3rd Julian Borowski Tournament… thanks, in no small part, to his mastery of the Pirc and its fighting setups.
He has also coached Vishy Anand (5-time World Champion) and Fabiano Caruana (4-time U.S. Champion). Now…
He Passes on His Pirc Expertise
To You — Move by Move
Here’s the plan:
You answer with 1.e4 with 1…d6. Then after 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3, you play 3…g6. You prepare to fianchetto your bishop, setting the stage for tactics on the long diagonal!
Pirc Defense, starting position
The Pirc combines the bishop on g7 with
a staggering number of pawn breaks to
snatch the initiative from White
If White plays 4.Be3, then your queenside pawns set off a “butterfly effect.” You drop a quiet …c6 here. Sneak in a …b5 there, then push the c-pawn one more square. Suddenly, White’s center starts melting like butter in the sun!
Pirc vs 4.Be3
White’s center is about to collapse, while
lines of attack open in front of their king
Terrified of the Austrian Attack 4.f4?
Chapter 7 flips your fear into firepower! You punch holes in White’s position starting with …c5. You trade off their key attackers… culminating in positional dominance!
Pirc vs the Austrian Attack, starting position
This position is the heart of the sharp
Austrian Attack — but it’s “nothing
you cannot learn in half an hour”
Pirc vs the Austrian Attack, final
White’s mighty setup — reduced
to a lone pawn and a knight!
Now you press forward
The Classical Variation 4.Nf3 and its “safe” advantage? You shatter the illusion with the …Nxe4 fork trick. Then you lunge forward with your c-pawn to show them who really controls the center!
Pirc vs 4.Nf3 Classical Variation
Your extra center pawn gives you more
space, while your heavy artillery coming
onto the open files with tempo!
The World Champion Anatoly Karpov’s 4.g3? It looks ice-cold solid… until your “ice picks” …e5 and …b5 stab through their frozen grip on the center!
Pirc vs 4.g3, …e5-push
Your first “ice pick” chips
away the d-pawn
Pirc vs 4.g3, …b5-push
The second shatters whatever
was left of White’s center
Sure, White may trot out the Byrne Variation 4.Bg5. Even Kasimdzhanov struggled against it once. But thanks to his improvements, you’ll walk away with an extra pawn against White’s most principled line!
Pirc vs Bryne 4.Bg5
With the pin on f3 and the arrival of the
knight on c6, white pawns WILL fall!
But what if White doesn’t take the center with 2.d4? Or chooses something other than 3.Nc3 to defend their e-pawn?
Don’t worry — Kasimdzhanov has your back!
