Viktor Moskalenko The Perfect Pirc-Modern - New Edition 10 Years Later

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. Viktor Moskalenko is a renowned propagator of dynamic chess and has championed the Pirc-Modern for many years. In The Perfect Pirc-Modern, he explains the ideas and plans that matter, the various pawn structures and how to handle them, and he gives a wealth of new resources for both Black and White. In this updated edition of Moskalenko's 2013 book, 33 of the 42 games are new, with fresh ideas on every page. Moskalenko expertly guides you through this ground-breaking opening book with the enthusiasm, ease and humour that characterize his style.
