Pursuing the castled king (again!)

This is my highest rated win to date in online chess - another case of pursuing a castled king (see here and here for other recent examples). Black had a few opportunities to prevent the eventual outcome, but seemed oblivious to the danger, and never gets going. By the time the game ends, black has barely advanced any pieces beyond the 6th rank, and his minor and major pieces are all hemming one another in at the back. Although it's not a perfect game by any means, I'm increasingly consistent in taking advantages of similar situations.


As ever, if anyone has any views, feel free to leave a comment. I'm always keen to improve my analysis.
