If Black's strategy is successful White's centre can be blown away, but if Black fails he runs the risk of being overrun.

Whether playing White or Black, studying this book will provide you with vital information on a popular opening. *Essential coverage of the Pirc Defence*Packed with key new ideas and critical analysis*User-friendly design to help readers absorb information
