pretentious yet poor playing op needs to stfu about openings and work on endgame or wait better yet do some work at all instead of jibberjabbing like a dumb girl in a nail salon in the fora
get playing and figure it out your well developed self
if you got the style u say u do u wouldn't be shooting down all these great suggestions
you can't play and won't play
you're lazy
in b4 the should be lock
overly offended attention seeking non-player hiding behind anonymity and not serious about any contributions wasting people's time with b.s. carelessness
let's be real here
Be polite 
Ok i joined this convesation.

pirc is ok.
It has a number of close relatives, with slightly different move-orders each intended to rule out a particular White set-up.
There is the Pirc (pronounced Peertch), the Modern, the Rat, the Hippopotamus...
Have you considered the Scandinavian Defense 3...Qd6 or 3...Qd8 variations? No cramped positions there.
Also, check out these repertoire choices by GM Nigel Davies and IM Andrew Martin....

Cramped positions do sometimes benefit you, so we should ignore the statement about the cramped positions.

If I remember correctly, GM Seirawan discussed it in Winning Chess Openings.

Unfortunately, I do not think that there was much in the way of sample games.

why do you care about what grandmasters say so much and using their quotes to prove your statements?

I am not trying to prove anything. In this case, I am just trying to suggest places to look for pirc information.
Maybe some useful pirc info at:

Thanks for the imformation, even though I have no interest in the Pirc opening.
kings indian is good
never mind, must inform Kindaspongey that it was not to him and let him join the conversation. I'll do that, and you give a conversation starter.
