Ouf! Finally a good game! so much time I had to wait to have a good opinion about me, ultimately! This game is focusing on attacking weak pawns and distracting moves to scare the opponent and slowly advance the real threats: strong pawns! So the game really starts at move 30, which was the first decisive move, and where I had in mind already to advance e4-e5-f4 and then continuing, including Kh2 and bishops moves...
1. d4
queen pawn, but just to change the order...

 
1... Nf6 2. c4
... cause good old english is back, by reversed moves

 
2... e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Bd2 O-O 5. e3 b6 6. Bd3 Bb7 7. Nf3 d5 8. O-O
all bookie...

8... dxc4
pointing my good knight fellow on the right side of the board...

 
9. Bxc4 c5
starting the confusion, here...

 
10. a3
well, where will you put your bishop?

 
10... cxd4
er... nowhere, I attack your stupid knight... The other one, i mean.

11. Nxd4
i Have considered axb dxc, but after exd Qxd4, I see doubled pawns and no advantage for white.

 
11... Bc5 12. Nb3 Nbd7 13. Qe2 Qc7
both queens try to find safer place, and prepare for an attack (mostly black queen).

14. Nxc5
I keep the two bishops.

 
14... Nxc5
better than to take with pawns, but now c and d columns are largely opened for rooks.

 
15. Rac1
and... here we go. (and conscious of eventual Nb3)

 
15... Qc6
threatens mate in one

not so dumb.

 
16... Nd5 17. Nxd5 exd5
I had the feeling that black wanted the draw, here.

18. Bb5 Qd6
of course not Qc7 or c8, because of the next move...

 
19. b4 Ne6 20. Rc2 a6 21. Ba4 b5
this manoeuvre just helped me to comfort my bishops focusing on both the center and the king, as we'll see. I recognize that black helped me a lot here.

22. Bb3
Here we go, pointing o weak pawn!

 
22... Rfe8
I wonder how valuable would have been d4, here.
