16. gxf3
2, but at what cost? With my pawn chain now completely busted, I consider the g file as a potential weapon.

 
16... Qe7
Black saves his queen, and gets her ready to swing into attack on the kingside.

 
17. Qb4
Seeing a way to encourage the trade of queens, therefor pressing material advantage to a quick endgame.

 
17... Qg5+
Black's having none of that, so he maintains his aggression. At this point, I wasn't too worried, as the enemy queen is out hunting alone, while the the rest of her army is still chilling out in the barracks.

 
18. Kh1 b5
remy plans to hold his own on the queenside.

 
19. Rfg1
I just knew that g file would come in handy:) Time to start harrassing her majesty!

 
19... Qe7
? Qf5 was probably the play. Now white can yet again encourage the exchange of queens.

 
20. Nd3 Qxb4
remy accepts:) Every major exchange this game has resulted in a favorable position for white. Black probably should have played Nd6.

 
21. Nxb4
Mission objective accomplished.

 
21... Ne7
Black now prepares to utilize his space.

 
22. Rc7
! Seventh rank outposts can be deadly. Black now must either move or protect his knight. White is hoping to establish a lasting initiave here.

 
22... Nf5
Where else?

 
23. Rgc1
A double barrelled shotgun makes a very distinct noise:)

 
23... Nh4
Another lone hunter has come into my neck of the woods. Since the only protecting move is a retreat, white simply advances his problem.

 
24. f4 Nf3
? Ng6 was much stronger.

 
25. Kg2
Ok mister invader - let's set some ground rules here. Time to keep you moving and try to put you on a worthless square.

 
25... Nd2
ok - you're not going to cause too much trouble there..........

 
26. Nc6
Attacking space, and eying e7 with a check.

 
26... h5
!Perhaps fearing a weak back rank, black establishes a flight square and presses his pawn advantage on the kingside. Strong move.

 
27. Na7
Hoping to get all 4 rooks off the board on c8.
