4.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for player who use the Pirc Defense, September 19, 1999

John Kato (Honolulu, Hawaii USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Ultimate Pirc: Comprehensive Coverage of an Exciting Modern Opening (Paperback)

This book is a must buy for tournament players who play the Pirc. Having gone through parts of this book I found the use to be typical for standard opening books. Although you have an obligitory introduction to each section that involves text, I found the conclusions to be fair, honest and reasonably thorough. What set the book apart from the rest is that it is from John Nunn. I feel that I can trust his opinions given his past work. It would have been nice and indeed enlightning, if John Nunn put in more text.
