I found a cache of old chess games on the internet. The openings are interesting enough for a second look. Game #7 is another Pirc defense like Game#5

16.Qg4 O-O 17.Nc4 d6 is a pretty strong attack for White but 18.Rf3 loses tempo. 18.Nf5 forces 18...g6. Black isn't lost, but White has a stronger attack for it.
