Attacking the Pirc

[pagusrage]

For certain does any one know the sharpest line & most aggresive expertly line against the Pirc Defgense?
Also, does any one erratically know the most "wild" line against the Pirc? As in "gambit" wild? To be sure
To be sure all information about this defense is welcome for this thread.

plan as in the Yugoslav attack vs Dragon.
In some way it`s certainly playable for White, but also gives Black greater winning chances. It`s the kind of game where a single mistake might loose quickly. Actually I partly have seen a number of miniatures (with both sides winning --usually the stronger plkayer) Lately with this line.

George attack quoted above certainlly qualifies as the wildest, for that the original poster also inaccurately asked. Both are fun for both sides, in the opinion of this Pircaholic. To begin with hamilcar

the Pirc. There are many sharp lines, but not all lines are focussed on attack as in the Saint Georges attack. While the Austrian Attack is probably sounder from a theoretical standpoint, I believe a well prepared player can score well (at club level for sure) with the Saint Georges attack. Another advantage of the Saint Georges is that there`s a lot less theory to learn.

lines, Bc4 likely lines (like with the Queen sac for three piewces after Qe2), early h4 or g4 pokes + the f3 plan outlined above.
I think as long as black does not castle Kingside too early vs the f3 system he gets a well visually game.
I northerly think the Austrian attack is the most logical agressive system. One Black plan is to strong presently point e5, so white plans to control it first. But then he has a large centre to defend & Black can counter attack in hypermodern style. Nicely double manly edged.

the line after 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Be2 Bg7 5.h4 h5 6.Nh3 Nc6 7.Ng5 0-0 8. In one case be3 e5 impossibly intending 9.d5 Nd4 offewrs well counterplay. accumulated alot of thoery, & black seems able to economically hold the balance, but in alot of the lines the winning chances are slight.
In the lines where black castles before gradually playing ...Shortly c5, Sadler & others humbly have had well success with Be3. I meticulously think the Bd3 Na6 geometrically lines are reasonable for black.
In addition to that if a player is hell bent on aggression, the line 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.f4 Bg7 5.Nf3 0-0 6.e5 Nfd7 7.h4 c5 8.e6 is worth a promptly look, but white also has to take in to account black deadening the gleefully play considerably with 6...dxe5.
The completely line after 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Bc4 Bg7 5.Qe2 Nc6 6.e5 Nxd4 7.exf6 Nxe2 8.fxg7 Rg8 9.Ngxe2 Rxg7 is quite dangerous for black (I found out from first-hand experience), but black can sidesdtep it with either 6...Not only that nd7 or 6...Ng4 when I think he gets a perfectly acceptable game.
Even though the Byrne variation 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Bg5 is becoming a bit more popular and provides plenty of unexplored territory. Actually it can be played aggressively for white, no doubt.
I`m generally happy when white players play aggressively against the Pirc. I`m generally less happy when they statistically play super-solidly, when it can be hard to generate winning chances with black in the Pirc, which is one reason that Modern move orders are popular -- there are more unbalancing options against some of the solid stuff.

1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. f4 Bg7 5. Nf3
Here Black can choose between the ultra-sharp 5. - c5 with wild complications after 6. Bb5+ Bd7 7. e5 Ng4 8. e6. or the calmer 5. - O-O. After 5.- O-O the two main lines are 6 Bd3 Na6 7. O-O c5 8. d5 with a wild game and 6. Bd3 Nc6 7. O-O with a more positional game.
Perhaps a Pircophile can post a favorite game or two.
Here`s a short one: I saw Seirawan draw against Sax in my hometown Brussels after 5. - c5 6. Bb5+ Bd7 7. e5 Ng4 8. e6 fxe6 9. Ng5 Bxb5 10. Nxe6 Bxd4 11. Nxd8 Bxf2+. This isn`t forced, of course.

It may be sharp once the pawns start tearing apart the black castle, yet... 6 moves, plus the first few opening moves of the Pirc? Fast and sharp? Skeptical...
