Early. Maybe better is Nf6 or e6 with Bd6. It was some time ago...

 
5. g3 Nf6 6. Bg2 dxc4 7. Ne5 e6

Try to castle with best developing moves.

 
9. O-O Bxc3
I think, I can hold close the position, that is why I gave up the bishoppair. And I wasnot at my best, so the knight can be very dangerous to be. I oversee sometimes.

 
10. bxc3 Nbd7 11. Nd6+
This have I oversee, too...

 
11... Kf8 12. Ba3 Kg8 13. Nxb7 Qb6 14. Nd6 Bg6
I leave some territory for my king to breath, with the connectoin of my rooks.

White have one pawn more - so he is better, but the pawn is isolated, so very hard to push in. Anyway, white seems to be better.

 
21. e3 Be4
Try to catch the c3 pawn after the exchange.

 
22. f3 Bc6 23. e4 Kh7 24. Bd4 Nh5 25. Qc1 Rhd8 26. g4 Nf6 27. g5
Instead of this, white could do better, if he takes my knight. After I got a bad pawnstructure, he could push h4-h5 and g5 with Re1-f4 or something.

 
27... Nh5 28. Kh1 Bb5 29. Rg1 Qc7 30. Bf1 e5 31. Be3 Bxf1 32. Rxf1 Rd3 33. Bd2
The mistake. I win back the pawn. After gxh6 white would have time for this move, or simply for the Bxh6 move and then with Qg5.

 
33... hxg5 34. c4 f6
Now the black bishop cannot get breath in the nearby of my king.

 
35. Qc2 Rbd8 36. Rad1 Qd7 37. Rf2 Qd4
Qh3 maybe looks good, but too little territory for 2 pieces.

 
38. Kg2 Nf4+ 39. Kg3 Qd7
It is good enough.

 
40. Bxf4
The only way to play... the first rank is weak, and the rook is over...

 
40... gxf4+ 41. Kg2 Rxd1 42. c5 Rd2
There are certainly much better ways to win this position, but I played the last times very weak, so I donot give my opponent any chance to win.

 
43. Qc4 Rxf2+ 44. Kxf2 Qd4+ 45. Qxd4 Rxd4 46. Ke2 Kh6 47. c6 Kh5 48. c7 Rc4
White gaves up.
