A Complete Defense Against 1.e4
2. bearbeitete und erweiterte Auflage 2008, 446 Seiten, kartoniert, englisch Every chess player needs a defense he can trust.
Pirc Alert! gives you a complete repertoire, everything you need to know to defend against White's most popular way of starting the game-1. e4.
International Grandmasters Lev Alburt and Alex Chernin explain both the winning ideas as well as the theory and moves of the Pirc Defense, a dynamic system used by the world's chess elite.
What's more, the merits of the Modern Defense, a related opening, are considered in every one of White's variations.
Ideal for those who have other demands on their time, the Pirc Defense rewards understanding its ideas over rote memorization.
Pirc Alert! is packed with surprise-weapons, never before revealed theoretical novelties-new moves that can win you many games!
Nothing is held back. What's more, Pirc Alert! gives you the most thorough explanation of an opening's themes and ideas ever published.
Note to the 2nd Edition Referring to my co-author Alex Chernin, GM Alexander Beliavsky once said: "Alex's files show theory as it will be in 10 years!" Indeed, Pirc Alert, based on those files, has stood the test of time. Still, eight years is eight years, and the time came to augment, and in some cases even to alter, Chernin's 2001 recommendations. Part 1 (mine) and Chernin's Part II, "General Themes and Ideas," required only a few changes. The unique Part II provides the reader with in-depth understanding of all the Pirc's structures and related ideas, thus enabling him to learn any new line quickly and efficiently, even those not part of our recommended repertoire in Part III. But even when updating Part III, which deals with current theory, I tried to preserve Alex's masterpiece; thus, my comments are usually in brackets. Al Lawrence and I tried to produce Pirc Alert in a way that makes it enjoyable for you to get the most out of the instruction it contains.
