Pirc Defense: Chinese Variation
Overview
Pirc Defense: Chinese Variation is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B07), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.
The line arises from 9 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Be2 Bg7 5. g4.
The line refines Pirc Defense, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
