1. d4
Well I am black in this game

 
1... Nf6 2. e3 c5
? I am not sure if this is the proper way to start the Benoni. Please write a comment to let me know.

 
3. c3
?? a dubious move. White is allowing me to develop

 
3... e6 4. Nf3 a6 5. Nbd2 d5
!! I give myself 2 explanation marks. I am playing a reverse queen's gambit. White has been developing very timid and now I set claim in the center. Notice My d5 pawn never gets captured

 
6. Be2 Nc6 7. a3
??? very timid

 
7... Bd6
I did not want to move my queen or light squared bishop yet and I was planing to castle. please grade my move

 
8. dxc5 Bxc5 9. b4 Bd6
?? after playing the game I think I should have played Ba7...

 
10. Bb2 Bd7
A quiet move

 
11. O-O
At first I was stumped on how to continue playing the game, but I myself being a Queen's gambit player soon seen a mirror image and played a move that I play as white

 
11... g5
!!! My favorite gambit. I usually play this move as white against black (g4). If anyone knows the name of this move, inform me

 
12. c4
!? white has now moved this pawn twice

 
12... g4
continuing the attack

 
13. Nd4 Rg8
side steping the pin by Bb2 and protecting the g pawn

 
14. g3
?! I am still playing this gambit a move behind. He should have captured my pawn on d5

 
14... h5 15. Nxc6 bxc6
Reducing minor pieces; I reinforcing my center, now if he captures my d pawn I recapture with my c pawn

 
16. Bxf6 Qxf6 17. Qc2 h4 18. Qh7 O-O-O
? I do not know what to think of this move. King-e7 would also work

 
19. Qc2 hxg3 20. fxg3 Qh6 21. Qa4
!! Now do you see why I should have played ke7. Double edge sword play. My king being all lonesome and cramped needed to run

 
21... Qxe3+ 22. Kh1
Capturing any piece would leave my king open to check and even draw

 
22... Rdf8
!!! opening space and protecting a vital pawn. WATCH THIS PAWN

 
23. Qxa6+ Kd8
Moving towards e7
