The game itself is not so crazy. The conditions surrounding it were. Please stick with this story before you watch the game, it's interesting.

When our chess club arrived for our weekly meeting it was clear skies. Less than 30 minutes into our 90 minute games it was storming so severely outside we were having wind gusts up to 75 mph... literally!  The power to our building went out. Our tournament director told everyone to pause their clocks. After a few minutes he told everyone we were going to wait 30 minutes for the lights to come back on and if they had not we would move to a restaurant nearby that still had power, after the storm passed of course, to finish our games.

I offered my opponent a draw and he snickered and told me he was about to go up an exchange (he wasn't though).  So I found a quiet spot in the building that had emergency flood lights on providing just enough dim light to play. I asked him if he wanted to play there instead of waiting 30 minutes then driving to a another location (at least 1 other pair of players elected to continue playing via cell phone light and flashlight apps on their smart phones).

He looked at the spot and said, "Oh this is good, I didnt want to have to go to a pub or anything." I played a pretty strong game from then on and ending up making the winning move where he had to lose a piece or get mated. He immediately started claiming the playing conditions weren't fair, he couldn't see, he didn't want to play here in the first place, I forced him to play in this spot. Anything but "I lost fair and square". Nevermind that I'm playing under the same conditions.

So my opponent then pauses our clock and drives to the restaurant where everyone had long moved to in order to complain to our tournament director that our playing conditions were not fair. He argued he was only trying to be accommodating to me, but he could not analyze the board properly etc. The TD told him, basically, "tough". "You should have raised an objection to the playing conditions before your opponent made the winning move." Exactly.

I would've taken the draw

great game..

I also like these kind off stories

Your annotation on move 29 is a bit confused.  If all the queen maneuver did was force black to g1 then you wasted a ton of tempo.  Also at 1700 level white's "trap" on move 33 should be elementary to you. 

Earlier in the game the tactics you dodged and positional reasons you gave in the notes were much better so it's a funny contrast :)  A well played game, and an interesting story to boot.  Thanks for sharing.

That's exactly what I played. In my notes I wrote he set up a trap but missed the bust, the one you pointed out, but I didnt.

The point of Qe4 wasnt to force white to g1, it was to bring my most powerful piece to bear against the enemy king. Having the white king on g1 is not a good place for his king but was not the point of bringing the queen over. I wanted pressure on his position in hopes he would eventually make a mistake. It worked.
