That little trick of delaying the fianchetto is really useful to know, thanks Ben.

Well I am not trying to rant at you but trying to give you advice. If you look at this move it is the main line and if you are actually willing to play it you have to understand all the lines. Anyways good luck 👍

Of course i love playing with White against these pirc kingsind moderndefence positions, and love to Exchange the dark bishop creating that battery and mostly doing this playing the jugoslav Attack, but this Is a case on its own, for black delayed castling so to avoid this White Plan, to deplete this Plan. And to me Is often difficult to play against and opponent Who delay castling (or doesnt at all), however black has to be precise when doing this, keeping the k in the center, even more so when the center Is not completely closed already, so White can react on the center, swithing to a different Plan, to break in the center and Attack with some e and d open columns

Excellent, succinct, analysis of a very interesting game. Magnus’ hybrid fianchetto & c6/b5 set up vs white’s f3/e4/d4 & Be3/Qd2/OOO set up is very interesting, especially as Black’s king stayed in the center basically the whole game.

@GMBenjaminBok Your analysis was brilliant and I've watched your video several times to understand the move choice and how to deal with likely deviations. I usually play the modern in the hope of getting into a hippo set up, but deviate into a pirc if confronted with the 3 pawn attack (e4/d4/nc3/f4) but still find white's e4/d4/nce/Be3/Qd2 set up (akin to the fischer attack vs the sicilian dragon) uncomfortable to meet. So Magnus' hybrid Pirc/Gurgendize (ie. c6/b5/nd7/nb6) system very interesting and logical to get at white on the Queenside, while not castling into white's brewing kingside attack. My only quibble with Magnus' play is playing c5, rather than castling queenside first as after c5 white could have played Bb5+ and at minimum black valuable nb6 would have had to drop back to defend and possibly get exchanged off. Perhaps the bishop check is trash anyway, but I'm not a gm and would worry about it taking the sting out of black's coming attack down the c file using the b6 knight. Sorry if too long a reply but thank you for your really really great analysis of this fascinating game! Cheers!

Thank you for your commentary.

Magnus played the Pirc Defence while using the principle of the Czech Pirc Defence, no-one ever plans for c6. Even though the Queen didn't come out I can still love that defence.

Makes me feel better about using the Pirc as my primary defense against 1.e4. If it's good enough for Magnus...

Yes, Magnus don't think, it is a secret anymore, that's why he plays the best line against the 150 attack.

To quick talk, to mich advertising

Is this Ramirez's line ?
