Now I have a logical plan of attack on the queen-side.

He continues these manoeuvres which don't achieve much.

So I carry on with my plan.

He actually has a threat here, Bxh3

So I put a stop to that. I was xpecting Bg4 here, and I can't take it without my king and queen being forked. But of course I don't have to take, I was thinking of just moving my Ne2 in reply - probably to g2. I don't want to allow exchanges while he is so badly cramped.

So I just carry one.

 
26... bxa5
He takes.

 
27. Ra3xa5
I take. His pawn on a7 is very weak now. I was rather expecting Qc7 now.

 
27... f5
But instead he lashes out on the king-side.
