Pirc Defense: Classical Variation, Quiet System, Chigorin Line
Overview
Pirc Defense: Classical Variation, Quiet System, Chigorin Line is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B08), 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.
It begins with 12 plies and takes 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Nf3 Bg7 5. Be2 O-O 6. O-O Nc6 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Pirc Defense: Classical Variation, Quiet System, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
