Olympiad Expo Classic Round 5 against Bence Baki | Queen's Gambit

Yesterday I played with the 14 years old hungarian talent Bence Baki. I played the Bf4 line against the queen's gambit declined. I played c4-c5 to gain space. He exchanged the a- and b-pawns and minor pieces on the queenside. I got space advantage and a better bishop. The best plan was the attack on the kingside with the advance of the h-pawn and use his weak dark squares to penetrate, but I played f4 with f5 ideas, which weakened my king and he could keep the draw by attacking my king. Finally I played the f4-f5 pawnbreak which was still draw. I sacrificed a pawn to be able to activate my pawns and queen. He had only 1 way to save his king, but he missed a nice checkmate attack at the end.
