That move is usefull later in the game, but it shouldnt be played before the time is right. When you are white you need to be agresive and keep initiative, this move is just to slow.

You commented on White's third move being the loss of a tempo but it really isn't; that move prevents the bishop from coming down and pinning the knight. It can also be a useful escape square for a bishop or a maneuvering square for a knight.

Tnx Peter, I mostly blog games, which I dont want to forget, if you want so, I will blog more games. Problem is that I am little short of time, so I couldnt make time to anotate games properly.

nice game!

You should blog more often, i'd like to read how you think in a chess game.

Nice win.  :)

good

nice game man!

isn't h3 an important line in the classical pirc?

Nicely done! Your annotations are great too.

I'm investigating the Pirc defense for myself, does anyone know which, if any, GM uses it as their main defense as black (not necessarily current GMs, but past also), for example Kramnik uses the Petroff, Shirov the Semi-Slav, Kasparov the Sicilian.

And here's the lesson.  Open up the center in order to attack an uncastled king.  And try to keep the center closed if your king safety is shaky.

10...Rb8 probably wasn't best.  He missed 11.Bc6 and then after 11...Kf8 12.Nd5 with a double edge game 10...Nf6 or 10...Rc8 might be better and instead of 17.Nc3 Qd2 holds better.

u r an expert at annotations ...

quiet nice there is alot to learn from this game, and I really like the small but informative anotation you use

nice
