Classical king-indian setup |

I think usually h3 is played first in these positions to prevent black's next move. |

Using attack on the knight to redeploy my knight to d3 square protecting b4 and working towards c5 push, the plan is to also push f3 and redeploy the dark-squared bishop to f2 to support my c5 push |

He is aiming to stop my queen-side advance. Perhaps he should've been focusing more on his king-side play. |

Good move, his queen works both sides well and also removes the pin and to allow his f5 king-side attack |

Here I started to drift a bit, I wasn't sure how to continue. I figured the knight is very hard to remove and somewhat paralyzes black's queenside pieces and pawns. |

All of white's pieces are now pointing to the queen-side, but black has not managed to organize a king-side attack quite yet |

I missed this, this was the point of Nf7 |

Black gets some initiative in the center |
|

23... fxe4 24. fxe4 Bxe4 25. Bf3

Good move, this was the only way that I could see to not lose the pawn |
|

25... Bxf3 26. gxf3 Nc7 27. Rxa8 Rxa8 28. Nc3 Ne6

Nice redeployment of the night, narrowing down on the central light squares paralyzing black's centeral pawns and the dark-squared bishop |

Pretty shaky position here for me. Luckily tactics worked in my favor here. |

Keeping the knight pinned is important here |

Attacking f3 and threating my fairly unsafe king. |

A mistake. Black must keep white's queen from invading on the back rank. Although it's hard to find a good spot for the rook. If Rb8 then Ba7, if Rf8 then Bc4. Perhaps, Ra8 was the better spot for the rook |

Only move |

37. Bxd6 Rxd6 38. Nxd6 Qd4+ 39. Kg2 Qxd6 40. Qc8

So white won an exchange and is better in this end-game, but there is still a lot of work and dangers remain. Qc8 is a good move as it protects the important g4 square. |
|
| |
|
|
40... Qd2+ 41. Rf2 Qg5+ 42. Qg4
|
Here's the point of 40. Qc8 |
|
| |
|
|
42... Qe3 43. Qe6+ Kg7
|
Here I tried lots of different path's but nothing seemed to work as black always had a chance to go into checking frenzy on the white king. |
