Perhaps with ideas of trying for d5-d6 again. |

I am not sure what he is trying to do. I think I have neutralised any counter-play he may have had for the exchange. I know decide to march my king to the Queen-side before opening a file or files on the King-side to deliver the coup de grâce - or so I thought! |

This again rather surprised me. I now rather wanted to stop h4-h5, although I am not sure if it is really any good for him. |

This struck me as a rather random king move. |

So I continue my King-march to the Queen-side. |

This rather surprised me too. Rather than wait for the coup de grâce he blasts open the position. But is straightens out my pawn formation. |

He takes back with the king - his c pawn drops if he takes back with the bishop. |

Maybe played on the basis of exchanging pawns but not pieces if you are materially down? |
