what's he attempting now? what can he obtain from such a move?

11... O-O
finally, my king tucked away relieves me of the mounting stress of a quick loss in the game.

12... Bh5
atleast it allows my bishop to regain lost land- though im really just procastinating the following moves

 
13. Qc1
that appears to be putting white in an even stronger position unfortunately for me, as his queen and bishop, as well as his g5 pawn are neatly lined up. intimidating my h6 innnocent pawn...

13... hxg5
i decided that i would rather have the swap off than the loss of a pawn

 
14. Bxg5
quite expected and the blatant correct move

 
14... Nd4
perhaps this would permit me to get bolder on my own attack, as i do have the motives for avenging my weakened pawn structure by that bilk of a prior g6 pawn!

 
15. Rg1
that is certainly not looking good for me

 
15... Nf3+
maybe i could last it out a little longer with a few cheeky moves

 
16. Nxf3
unfortunately it only seems to be a swap off for me and in fact aids white in the sense that it leaves the queen a free line to join in the abundant attack.

 
16... Bxf3
the pressure on me now is almost so intense that it is almost palpable if not tangible.

 
17. Bh6
i was getting a bit conceited and pretentious by those swap offs, as i am now really stuck by the harangue engendering move of white.

17... Nh5
however, it seems that i can sustain my precious defence a little longer

 
18. Qe3
that is unfortunate for my bishop

 
18... Bh1
maybe i could tempt that rook to a side to offer myself some breathing space

 
19. Bf4
maybe not yet it appears

19... Nxf4
an adequete and sufficient ecxhange in my opinion

 
20. Qxf4
we are still level in points if not in board position, giving me that fleeting hope of a victory

 
20... Re8
pressure on the e4 pawn does seem to ideal for my advance
