First win with the pirc/philidor defense.

In this game I was finally able to use my exchange philidor defense to win over a 1600+ player. Play was not perfect, especially in the opening.

I am sort of confused as to why no one is responding. I thought this was a highly instructive game.

I better get ready for next week. With this win I am in serious contention now to win some money. I am probably going to play Kantey or Yousif next week, both of who are close to 1800

Very nicely done!   Ha, like me sometimes, you were paranoid he'd bring his B down, that's why you played h6 first.  I've done that many times, being paranoid about his N or B coming down.  If you wait for h6, and he brings B down, then you h6, and he captures your N on e6, don't capture with your N (like I've done) you'll lose a pawn.  Just capture with B and all's good.  Didn't matter, you played brilliantly with the Pirc!
