18. Qd2 Be4
Tempo #5 Notice how my bishop has gone from c8 all the way to the active e4, while White has developed nothing.

 
19. Qe2 Rfe8
Attacking the weak e5 pawn, and tying down the knight.

 
20. b4
It took a lot for me not to just play Bxb4 here, but I went for the "easy", slower route.

 
20... Bf8 21. Be3
He finally activates his queenside.

 
21... Qc7
Attacking the e5 pawn again

 
22. b5
Striking out, but it just drops a pawn...

 
22... Nxe5 23. Nxe5 Qxe5 24. f3 Bd3
Winning another pawn.

 
25. Qb2 Bxb5
Notice though that he can't use the discovery from the bishop. Ex. 26. Bb6 Qxe1 27.Rxe1 Rxe1 28.Kf2 Re2 29.Qxe2 Bxe2 30.Bxd8 Rxd8 31.Kxe2 and I am still up my piece and I have gotten most of the material off the board

 
26. Bf2 Qd5 27. Bxa7 Qc4 28. Bd4 Ba6
Just overprotecting everything in the spirit of Nimzowitsch.

 
29. Bb6 Rdc8 30. Bd4 Re2
"The absolute of the 7th rank" - - Nimzowitsch

 
31. Rxe2 Qxe2 32. Qc1
It's really just clean-up from here as white has absolutely nothing

 
32... Bc5
Trading off pieces as I am up material

 
33. Qf4 Bxd4+ 34. cxd4 Qc4 35. Re1 g6 36. g4 fxg4 37. fxg4 Qxa2 38. h4 Qd5 39. g5 Bb5 40. Qg4 Rd8 41. Rd1 Bc6 42. Kf2 Qf5+ 43. Qxf5 gxf5 44. Ke3 Kg7 45. h5 f6 46. Kf4 Be4 47. Rg1
I will take free pawns...

 
47... Rxd4 48. h6+ Kf7 49. gxf6 Kxf6 50. Rg7 Bc6+ 51. Ke3 Rd7 52. Rg8 b5 53. Rc8
And here he resigned. Thanks for looking.
