* Attack on the kingside.

*For Black:*

* Attack the center later with ...e5 or ...c5.

* Use the fianchettoed bishop to control long diagonals.

* Keep the position flexible.

 Why this is useful for visually impaired players:

* The pawn moves d6 and g6 plus the fianchetto are clear patterns.

* Black’s plan is not immediate; it develops slowly, which makes visualization easier.

* Shows how to challenge a center instead of immediately fighting for it.

*Conclusion:*

The Pirc Defense teaches patience, flexibility, and hypermodern ideas.
