1. e4 d6, usually followed by
2. d4 Nf6
3. Nc3 g6
This opening could be considered similar another opening called the King's Indian, which begins 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7. However, in long run, strategic differences exist between the King's Indian and the Pirc Defense. In this Pirc Defense, White's c-file pawn is still at home, and not committed to the c4 square. So, overall we can say that White has a better control of the d4 square as compare to Black's. The pawn moves c2-c4 has been replaced by a developing piece move N-c3, and this "faster" development tends to encourage White towards central or kingside attacks compared with the queenside play classically associated with the King's Indian defense.

It’s similar to the King’s Indian Defence move, but there are some tiny changes as mentioned. Here the pawns are given chances to serve their side when the player makes a clever move. It is a silent attack technique that focuses on the part of getting rid of higher powers to increase the chance of winning.
