Robert Hess vs. Yury Lapshun: Transposing in the Modern Defense

This game reaches the position of the Modern Defense: Psuedo-Austrian Attack and then establishes a queenside lock-down and a king side attack (an idea explored in my last analysis, Singh vs. Smyslov). 

Of course, the Black king's knight is deployed on f6, so the same position can be reached from the Pirc. In this game Black transposes in and out of Modern Defense Variations, demonstrating the fluidity and parallels of the moves 1... g6 and its brother, 1... d6.
