12. Bh6
I expected him to take advantage of the b2 Diagonal... This is effective though.

 
12... Bf8
I offer the trade giving my rook my preferred postion afterwards.

 
13. Bg5
He recognized the perils of the trade, and he has pinned my knight to my queen and he was already attacking the knight with the queen. I must supply support.

 
13... Nbd7
I was not sure what to expect but I figured I could later use my bishop for support later if needed.

 
14. Nd2 Bg7
This give me the option to use the D7 knight; however, it does not releas my knight from the pin persay.

 
15. Rfe1
Trying to work his rook around all of his pesky pawns.

 
15... Ne5
Attack of the queen. I need him moved just a hair at least.

 
16. Qg3 Nf7
I attack the bishop.

 
17. f3
Here taking the bishop does not quite get the desired results.

 
17... Nh5
I attack his queen with the knight that was pinned to my queen.

 
18. Bxd8 Nxg3
Now I finally have the tempo in my favor. He is playing catch up.

 
19. Rab1 Bc3
Pinning the knight.

20. Red1 Bxd2
Fairly important to capitalize on this specific pin.

21. Rxd2 Nxe4
Wasted. Not really. If I simply move my knight off I lose the tempo. Here I force him to move his rook once again

 
22. fxe4
Okay so not the rook but you get the idea.

 
22... Raxd8
not taken until it was time. Note that all this puts me ahead 2 in points, but look at the position at this point. very workable for black finally.

 
23. Re2 Ng5
Atacking the pawn 2 times he must supply support or take the loss of the pawn.

 
24. Rbe1
I hoped he would supply support. I have a little extra opportunity.

 
24... Re7 25. h4
This is a little cumbersome to my plan... Perhaps I should have taken the F file when I had the chance a play ago.

 
25... Nf7
knight is right back where he was before. Sigh.
