1. d4 d5 2. Bf4 Nc6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. h3 h6 5. g4 e6 6. c3 Bd6 7. Ne5 Bxe5 8. dxe5 Ne4 9. h4
All normal so far.

 
9... Ne7
Ok, interesting try from black.

 
10. f3
I should avoid to block the white diagonal, but I didn't think there will be much action in it without my central knight.

 
10... Nc5 11. Qd4
A move to free my queen.

 
11... b6 12. b4
Bad move. Here I had to open the way for my bishop or knignt. To develop.

 
12... Nb7
this is like a spring: now black can free his position with c5.

 
13. e3
I had to develop my lsb aiming to the queenside.

 
13... Ng6 14. Bg3
No problem, man...

 
14... Qe7
Further supporting c5?

 
15. Nd2
No point in checking him. I develop.

 
15... c5 16. bxc5 Qxc5
I was waiting for the knight, but black hopes in an even endgame.

 
17. Bd3
The best thing I can do is let him exchange.

 
17... Qxd4 18. exd4
Which he does. Now I have a weakness in c3, but a strong central pawn chain. Let's see if I can defend it.

18... Ne7
A wasted tempo for the attack: Bd7 - Rc8.

 
19. a4
Not wise. Just to make more space for Ra3 and the other rook in c1.

 
19... O-O 20. Nb3
Black is not in a hurry, so I even think about a break in a5.

 
20... f6
Logical try by black.

 
21. Kd2
I moved the king the wrong square. It was an oversight.

 
21... fxe5 22. Bxe5 Rxf3 23. Ke2
At least, he can't support the rook with the other.

 
23... Rf8 24. g5
It's my turn to attack. His tangled pieces on the queenside give me an excellent opportunity I don't have to waste.
