I just won a 3-0 game in the Pirc on PC, and since I'm new to this opening (Plan on using it mostly against 1.d4) I wanted to know how my play was overall, especially in the opening. Be as critical as you like...

(BTW:I do see the king + pawn fork by the knight for white at move 37, in time pressure I missed it.)

Meh your defence against his modern set-up wasn't very active..but your oppenant was more worried about trading your dark square bishop then playing in the center, which would have caused you a more serious problem

Forgot to add in 10.e5, would be more active then whites plan

Any suggestions on moves where I should have played something that I didn't?

12.e5 is better,

10.e5 dxe5 11.dxe5 Nd5 12.Nxd5 cxd5 13.Bd4 Qc7 and black's doing ok.

Not to drag this out, but why did you play c6 instead of a6?

new to me -.-..a6 has proven to give black good chances, keeping his c pawn there in case a chance for a c5 push comes around...the only thing that sucks for black the modern with an early h3 is black plans are often limited, but white has to counter all them..as nimzo used to say..."The threat is often greater then the execution"..or somethin like that
