Very interesting game! At first it was a bit positional later it became a mixture of tactics and strategy & mating patterns....
1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. Nf3 Bg7 5. Be2
The classical approach

 
5... O-O 6. O-O c5
This turns out to be quite a good variation. Maybe time to check my openingsbook???

 
7. dxc5 dxc5 8. Be3 b6 9. h3
theory..

 
9... Bb7 10. e5
theory..

 
10... Ne4
Now it seems like white can get some advantage. Again...maybe i should check my openingsbook, for at first i thought blacks set-up was OK, and now i do get a plus....

 
11. Qxd8 Rxd8 12. Nxe4 Bxe4 13. Ng5 Bb7
if 13..Bxc2? then 14.Bf3 at least wins the exchange (14...Nd7 or 14...Na6 15. Bxa8 Rxa8)

 
14. e6
interesting play!

 
14... f5
Or 14...f6 15.Nf7. After ...f6 black has no pressure against b2/d4

 
15. c3 Bf6 16. Rad1
16.Nf7!?

 
16... Nc6 17. Nf7 Rxd1 18. Rxd1 Kf8
What can black do?? His position is very cramped.

 
19. Bf3
Rd7 coming up!

 
19... Na5 20. Bxb7 Nxb7 21. Rd7
Bisshops exchanged, black still cramped...

 
21... Na5 22. Bh6+ Kg8
Look at this position! The black king is stalemated, white just needs a check and its mate...even without queens mating attacks occur!

 
23. g4
idea: gxf gxf Rd7-d3-g3 and mating

 
23... fxg4 24. hxg4 Nc6
now the g-file will stay closed but the black play is more and more limited.... He has only his knight to play with.

 
25. f4
e5 is mine! g5 is mine! f5 is mine! h5 is mine! d4 is mine! d5 is mine! e4 is mine!

 
25... a5
the black rook can move now, without losing the a-pawn

 
26. Rc7 Na7
only move, 26...Nd8 26.Nxd8 Rxd8 27.Rd7 and black has no counterplay at all

 
27. Kf2
simple strategy: black cannot improve his position, so meanwhile the white king can be activatedb before white actions take place

 
27... a4 28. a3 Nb5 29. Rd7 Bxc3
Despair....but helps to create a nice finish of the game
