Overview

Pirc Defense: 150 Attack, Sveshnikov-Jansa Attack 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.

Play reaches this position via 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Be3 c6 5. h3, after 9 plies of opening development.

The line refines Pirc Defense, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
