Well done.

I don't understand what happened to your c4 pawn at move 10.

it's called en passant (or in passing).  When a pawn is initially moved up by 2 squares, if it ends up on a square that has a black pawn for a neighbor, the black pawn can capture it as if it were one space below (in this case on c3).  This can only occur right when the pawn is moved up 2 spaces, otherwise on the next turn it cannot be taken

      move 26 -- Dangling the b2 pawn to pull the queen out of position. Did you prepare anything for 27...Qe8 or ...Rd4? Seems that either would take some of the kingside pressure off.

Neat game.

 Your right I was thinking also of the 27...Rd4. But I am sure that he would focus on the kingside pressure...I don't have a prepared move for that but I am sure that I can still maintain the pressure...Nice question mytself...Thank you for the question...

Black can still play ...Kg8 though!

LOL!

Even though black play Kg8, my next move is a checkmate...

Expertly done

Generally well done, but I think you missed a well defined 22 Ne8 forking the queen and bishop.  With his black square bishop gone, and yours still on the board, the fianchettoed pawn formation is virtually suicidal. 

22....Qd8 probably best

23 NxBg7 KxNb7

24 Bh6+ Kg8

25 Qe3 R whereever

26 Bg5 Qf8 as he must cover g7

27 Ra-d1  all pretty much forced.

You're good at chess!
