Overview

Zukertort Opening: Pirc Invitation is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A04), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

It begins with 2 plies and takes 1. Nf3 d6 to reach the canonical position.

The line is a first-level refinement of Zukertort Opening.

The line splits into 2 documented sub-systems: Zukertort Opening: Vos Gambit, Zukertort Opening: Wade Defense.
