My plan is to just keep on getting pieces over to the kingside. I'm aiming for g3 for my knight.

18... Nd6 19. Ng3
|
Achieves two purposes: defends my e pawn and lends support to the kingside pressure. |

19... Re8 20. Nf5

If he takes with his pawn, I checkmate him. |

Trying to continue building pressure. Again, if he takes, he dies. |

A risky move. I'm now committing to blowing my kingside cover, contemplating trying to get my rooks to the kingside, and continue building pressure. If I can simply overwhelm his defense and break through... |

My maneuverability is severely limited right now, but it doesn't cause me much alarm. |

This changes the dynamic of the game. He needed to do something to disrupt my advance. |

I liked this exchange combo because it gives me initiative. |

Trying to open up his pawn formation a little more. Perhaps this wasn't the best move, since it allows him the chance to connect some pawns, but it seemed like an okay decision. |

Making room for the rooks to swing around and also activating my king. |

29... f5 30. Rad1

Bg5 instead? Not sure if it would be successful. |

Trying to keep initiative and maintain my advantage, which I believe my bishop pair gives me. |

31... Rxd7 32. gxf5 gxf5

He's maintained his connected pawns, but his king doesn't have them for cover anymore. At this point I'm simply attacking with the goal of trying to get those two pawns. |

Facilitates the move I wanted to do anyway... |

Bxf5 would be a capture with tempo. |
|
| |
|
|
34... Nd5 35. Bg5
|
Again, actually facilitates my plan. If I would have been able to leave that DSB at f4, his rook could have potentially pinned my two bishops after Bxf5. |

35... Nc3

? This is where my opponent begins to slip up enough for a noticeable advantage for me. Even if going for my pawns is a good decision, which I'm not sure if it is at this point, wouldn't b4 have been a better place? |
|
| |
|
|
36. Bxf5 Nxa2
|
? So intent on getting rid of those pawns, he didn't notice the attack on his rook. |
|
| |
|
|
37. Bxd7
|
My opponent resigned. |
