Annotated chess game

Yes, hovering, right! Sorry, I didn't check the word, I just remembered it form somebody's post somewhere...  

Look at the board as a whole: It's true that black has no action on the kingside, so the K on g1 can seem to be safe. But look at it now: rounded by his heavy pieces... it just looks better  

Joe, by freeing the way for the b pawn (b5-b4), disturbing the N and attacking my K. It's the side on which black can hope a counterattack, but his Q won't break in, he would need pawns first. Moreover: Now, if I want to play Bc5, he can answer b6, kicking it and helping him with his developement.

No, but on f6 it is vulnerable to g5. It has Nh5 - a good spot - but still subject to the R's action... very risky. Nf8 shields it while assuring a good defender.

g5! is much better here

I think so. I just played impulsively. This "looked as" a great move, but it wasn't.

Black is only staying in the game because white is allowing him to. Black has been losing pretty much since the beginning. Oversights like this (more common in OTB blitz) tend to extend games much longer than needed

Joe, it happens RxQ. This was the point: black couldn't have threatened the c6 pawn so easily. It's the same now, except that the BQ has a move that solves both problems (the R and the pawn), and moreover, opens lines for his attack just over my K. A very bad decision. I was unnecessarily compromising an otherwise good game for me. My "problem" is Bh3, so Bg2 must be a priority. And I posposed it too much! -- teardrop, you're right. Despite I'm training tactic, I'm still not able to find "the right move" even in simple, tactical situations.

Again, g5! was still playable here.

You're probably right. Let's see: 26. g5, c3. White has no inmediate check, 27. b3 screams for Bxb3, so 27. Qxc3 seems forced to me, losing the dsb. White still wins with his attack, but let's see if white goes the only other move: 27. Ba3. Black has plenty of options, like cxb2, thinking in Rb8, Bxa2+ and after KxB, b1=Q, winning. But white can simply stay behind the pawn and get a free move. So black can try 27... c2+ instead. 28. Kc1 seems the wiser, but however, black has counterattack based on Rd8-Rd1+, forcing white to exchange one R, and depriving white of his ongoing attack. (if 28. Ka1, Rc8 threatens c1=Q+ and mate, forcing a R to go to c1. If 28. Kxc2, Bxa2 and Rc8+ is a real threat). In a quick blitz, I just sensed I must not let things like these to happen.

The same move that should have been played awhile ago. You have a threat on the kingside, and refuse to capitalize it. Capablanca has a look of disgust on his face  

Bg2 equalizes the position though. 27. Bg2 h6 28. g5 Bg4 29. gxh6 Qf6 and black's kingside is sufficiently defended.

Oh, yes, Joe, but I was talking about WHITE's best move. Bg2, and black's busted (unless I miss something). -- teardrop, this becomes interesting if in your line (27. Bg2, h6, 28. g5, Bg4 (very nice!), 29. Rxh6 instead. gxR is forced, 30. Rxh6 again, threatening # in h8 and the BQ. 30... QxR loses anyway after 31. gxQ (Qg2# is unstoppable), but black has the odd-looking 30... f6 that seems to save the day: White can't just play Rxf6, because after Qd1+ white is forced to accept the Qs' exchange and its advantage would be less clear. Even after 32. Qxc3+, black seems to defend with great care (32...Be6, 33. Qc1, f5, 34. Qh1, Rf8!!, 35. g6!! and still black is good because if the WQ leaves h1, Qd1# is threatened. Very interesting, at my poor level! Here, if black plays a natural move (say Ra-d8), white has 36. Rh8+, Kg7, 37. Qh6+, Kf6, 38. g7+, and despite all the attack, white must lose a move caring for Qd#. Kf7 or Ke7 allow white to go on with the checks by promoting, and eventually equalize, so 38... Ke5, 39. f4+ (39. Qh2+ fails to f4, Rh5+, Rf5). If black plays the K on the d column, there is no checkmate and just loses, so exf3ep is forced. 40. Qe4+ saves the day for white, as Kf6 is forced (as before), 41. gxf8=Q+, RxQ, 42. RxR+, Kg7!! An insane situation, in which white isn't able to find a free tempo in order to play Bxc3 because Qd1+, Qc1, Bxa2+ is still "on"...
