Then please strike back in the center....

I love it, just run over the opponent who is sitting there thinking he is secure. A more proficient Pirc player wouldn't have castled into it like this one did, but people don't realize how quickly the thing can be dismantled by an aggressive line like you played. You have to create early counterplay somewhere on the board to distract White from bulldozing the K side position if he knows how. That's why I don't play it, I'm not always accurate enough to prevent this kind of massacre. I need something more sturdy, like the Caro Kann for example.

lol, awesome example of taking the initiative when you've got the lead in position/development. as you hinted at, in those positions, material isn't always as important as opening lines and creating an attack. that game wasn't going to an ending; it was either mate or resign lol.
nice play.

Activity and counterplay is everything...
This is a great demonstration of how passive play without a plan leads to a quick disaster :)
Well played by White.

When someone fiachetto's their bishop I awesome take full control of the center and give them a cramped space.
Ice-9

Good thing that after 18. Qxg5, your opponent did not see 18...Nf5 when black has turned the tables...
Yes, I saw n-f5 and underestimated it as I am sure your computer, I mean you saw immediately;p. Its a good thing for black I didn't simply play fxg5 instead of qxg5 and still be completely winning. Thanks for reviving my thread by the way
