I used this course to prepare for the game: https://chessmood.com/course/maroczy-bind?r=AttilaTurzo
I got an equal position in the opening and built up a nice attack in the middlegame, but started to play slow and allowed him the c4-c5 break which equalized for him. I tried to attack instead of defending, My attack was not good, but his attack won a pawn for him and he played well the endgame to win the game:
