Hi all, I posted this game under Game Analysis also where I put comments. I'm not posting comments here so check that one out (titled "a very complex game") if you would like to follow along my thoughts. Just a quick intro:

I gave up a pawn in the openning in order to get the pair of bishops. The plan afterwards became to open up the center. Move 20...d5! completely blasted the center appart and created many complications turning the position into a real volcano.

 

Your comments and thouhts are greatly appreciated.

I think more important than the bishop pair is the weakness of White's dark squares and the Kside pressure that Black could build.  If the d7 N came to c5 instead of e5, that would make it possible for Black to threaten with Qg5 and not have to watch for the pawn fork after W's 0-0.  The whole conception starting with e5 and Nd4 is very intriguing.  If White refrains from Bxe4, I'm not sure where things are going, but Black has in any event a good position with a dominating N.
