You can't go wrong by an early and totally premature assault on the King -
just chuck the kitchen sink at it. Odds are below 2400 level you'll get a
huge advantage. Come on! h4, h5, doesn't matter what black plays - ROFL! f4
and f5! castle Q side. 2 moves initiative for free - the thing about these
defenses is, if you don't take these opportunities then you are not so good,
and black gets everything he wants.

Used to be a GM joke against the KID, maybe still is, to determine if a
player was off-form, 'can't even beat the KID". The Pirc is like the KID on
Jello.
