to prevent Bg4, but wastes time

6... Nbd7 7. b4
an unnecessary pawn move that wastes time and also creates tactical opportunites for Black's dark-square bishop

7... Re8 8. Bb2 e5 9. dxe5 dxe5 10. e4
prevents the pawn fork, but now the light-square bishop is "bad"

The rook exchange benefits black, who is ahead in development.

now h3 is weak

17... Qc8 18. Kg2 Bh6
The bishop moves to a better diagonal.

 
19. Bc3 f6
supports the e5 pawn, but opens up the a2-g8 diagonal for White's bishop

 
20. Ra1
The a-file is of no use to anyone. All the action is on the kingside, where both kings are located.

 
20... Nf8 21. Nb3 Bc6 22. c5 Bd7 23. Ng1 Kh8
saves a tempo, in case of Bc4+

White blunders

 
24... exf4 25. g4
this allows the bishop sacrifice (not 25. ... Ng7? 26. Bxf6 +-)

25... Bxg4 26. hxg4 Qxg4+
Now white's busted.

 
27. Kf1 Ng3+ 28. Kf2 Bg5 29. Nf3 Bh4 30. Nxh4 Qxh4 31. Kf3 Ne6 32. Qb2
Qg2 is White's only hope.

 
32... Ng5+ 33. Kf2 Ng3xe4+ 34. Kf1 Qh3+ 35. Ke1 Nxc3+
The discovered check wins more material.

 
36. Kd2 Nge4+ 37. Bxe4 Nxe4+ 38. Kc1 Qf1+
White's king is getting cornered on the opposite side of the board.

 
39. Kc2 Qc4+ 40. Kb1 Rd8 41. cxb6
White has 5 out of 6 pieces on the b-file and is in zugzwang.
