Okay, maybe my question wasn't clear: What to do when my opponent attacks me with pawns?
Well in your first game you obviously did fine so you could try to play like that again. And in this second example, while extreme, I would say black's pawns are too overextended. So you should be able to take advantage with counter pawn strikes of your own to create open lines and holes to make the optimal use of your pieces.
I suppose all it takes is a little bit of patience, a trade off for black creating a multitude of potential weaknesses. And sacrificing the horse, or other material, as you alluded to may certainly be an option in the right position.
if you want something positional play the g3 system, if you want to blow your opponent off the board in a violent slugfest, play the Argentinian attack
OK dark....88-- I'll bite! What is the Argentine attack? I'd be happy to try it in some blitz games if its not total garbage. I've experimented with lots of different ideas vs Pirc-- basically taking an aggressive idea for white vs KID and adapting it to vs Pirc. Sometimes it works OK sometimes not but experimentation is interesting.

be3, qd2 , f3 ideas, usually with 0-0-0

Thanks! Didnt know that was its name. I've played that a lot, tried Be2, Be3 Qd2& OOO, tried Be2 & Bg5 then Qd2 etc. It's all fun. Lately I'm thinking about trying Be2 then g4. It all works well in blitz games where it's easy for white to see the next move. The only line I've never played in an actual game is the 150 attack oddly. -Bill
I like the 150 Attack against the Pirc, but.. every Pirc player plays something else. What to do?
You see? d6, then c6? fighting with pawns against pieces... pieces have to retreat. Luckily I'm a horse-trainer, so my horsery (sorcery with horses) was no match for her, but to be honest, I don't know how to fight with pieces against pawns, aside from sac. a horsy for 2 pawns.
What do you folks suggest?
