Miniature of the Month - March 2013

Delving into the collection of games from ChessToday, I found a somewhat familiar game for the March 2013 edition of Miniature of the Month. It is a fairly thematic hack against the Modern/Pirc setup, where White simply plays Nc3,Be3,Qd2,O-O-O, Bh6, h4 interspersed with some necessary moves like e4 and f3. Black needs to defend very accurately against such a setup, and in this months game, fails to do so. As a result White has a fairly straight forward win.
