[edit] Pirc players?
Do we have any Pirc players listening?
I "corrected" the redir from Robatsch Defense from Modern Defence to Pirc Defence, but I realize now that may have been a mistake. It seems that Robatsch and Ufimtsev may actually belong with Modern instead of Pirc. I had just created a bunch of redirects to Pirc Defence from Robatsch Defence, Ufimtsev Defence, and Ufimtsev Defense when I realized this may be an error. If so, those redirects should be changed and the Modern Defence page probably needs to mention Robatsch and Ufimtsev. Also, what about the Pirc-Robatsch? Quale 06:26, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Isn't the Robatsch Defense was a seperate defense from the Pirc. Since it is reached after e4 g6 versus the Pirc which is reached e4 d6 d4 nf6? I realize that they often end up similar but I don't think it should redirect here. Falphin 18:06, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not a Pirc player, but back in my day (the days of MCO-10), the two were grouped together as Pirc-Robatsch. But they are considered seperately now. Bubba73 (talk), 00:50, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

- It is not uncommon that you can reach lines of another opening than the one you started with. E.g., there are positions in the Pirc defence that can also result from the Sicilian defence. (Pirc player here. :)) Guido den Broeder (talk) 14:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
