{"product_id":"chess-developments-the-pirc-vigus","title":"Chess Developments: The Pirc - Vigus","description":"Chess Developments is a brand new series providing state-of-the-art openings coverage. Chess Developments focuses on the current trends - concentrating on critical lines, theoretical novelties and powerful new ideas. It offers players of all levels the opportunity to keep up-to-date with current opening theory whilst also expanding and improving their repertoires. The Pirc is an ambitious counter-attacking weapon against 1 e4. Black allows White to build an imposing center before striking back and attacking it with pieces and pawns. If Black's strategy is successful White's center can be blown away, but if Black fails he runs the risk of being overrun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, James Vigus examines the most theoretically important and instructive Pirc games since the publication of his highly acclaimed The Pirc in Black and White, highlighting the main developments and novelties for both sides. Studying this book will provide you with vital information on a popular opening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e248 Pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Everyman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished: November 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCritical lines, current trends, new ideas and up-to-date theory for the aspiring player - Uwe Bekemann \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bdf-fernschachbund.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ewww.bdf-fernschachbund.de \u003c\/a\u003e (German Corresspondence Chess Assoc.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe days when the Pirc was a second rate response to 1.e4 are over.
