I've never liked my chances playing against someone well versed with the pirc. i'm a fan of the Be2 move too. although, sierawan has the novelty move of 5. h4 move to be played after, but i've found more success with 5. g4. perhaps something you can mess around with

maybe white can play an yugoslav attack-setup in this position instead. or f4. The bishop on e2 looks a little to quiet.

Actually i prefer 4.Be3 followed by f3, Qd2, O-O-O and later Bh6.

An interesting move, not sure how white will develop the g1 knight. perhaps with h3 and f2, it seems a bit too passive. black will likely push queenside and white in turn should be pushing kingside. I suppose we might see a huge piece of action queenside later in this game

with Be2 you clearly block in the bishop here. i suggested previously the yugoslav attack-setup involving Bc4 instead and then f3. after that white can play Nge2,just prepearing Be3,Qd2,0-0-0 and throwing those pawns against the king with g4-h4.

What is the aim of this move? I think it maybe a mistake.

altho you block in the h-pawn. i dont think black would surrender his LSB for that clumsy knight anyways. or perhaps he would because the LSB is not doing well either. if he doesnt he retains the bishop pair.

okey this is turning into the yugoslav attack except that black is probably slightly better because of white's h3 knight and the e2 bishop. also with d5 white opens up blacks fianchetto bishop (even tho black will probably retain the knight on f6) now black can play a6-b5 and Ne5 in the future. problem for black is that the c-file is not open so it will take a bit longer to create counter-play on the queenside,and getting his LSB in action.

just as i suggested.

i wonder whether black can temporary gambit a pawn with 9. ... b5. the point is to attack on the queenside before white strikes on the king side.

you king has already castled >.>

seems odd to attack the center with the soon backwards d-pawn and everything.

What was the time control?

3 min + 10 sec
