15. Bb5+ Kf8
Not sure which was better Kf8 or Ke7

 
16. exd6 a6
At this point I am wondering if he knows how I am not expecting any of this

 
17. Be2
Here I expect some involvement from the queen...

 
17... b5
... and not this time

 
18. b4
Thinking I could perhaps throw some structure to the game... with a little luck and gifts from the opponent

 
18... f6 19. c4
take or not?

 
19... Rc8
... not. I think 19. ... bxc4 was better I could be wrong though

 
20. c5
completing a pawn chain

 
20... Kf7 21. a4
wondering if I could hope up some room for my rooks to roam

 
21... a5
interesting choice here

 
22. axb5 axb4 23. Bd3
Keeping his King from becoming a bit of a nuisance

 
23... b3
not seeing this as much of a threat

 
24. Nd2
however, I see this as a chance to reposition a knight.. or at least begin it.

 
24... b2 25. Ra7+
forcing the king back

 
25... Kf8 26. Nc4
interesting isn't it?

 
26... f5
He finally decides to block off my bishop?

 
27. g3
I wasn't sure what to think but I figured he was looking to push his pawns forward. In thinking about this I missed the obvious Bxg7 .

 
27... f4
Well he still did it.. I guess that answers that question about his intentions... now what?

 
28. Bxg7+
I finally see the Bxg7 . Not much of a good choice for him here

 
28... Kg8 29. c6
figure nothing is keeping me from taking rook later... might as well push the pawn while I still can
