UPDATE
My opponent shared to me his thoughts about the game. And he was very kind to allow me post them.
Robparker:
"Hi, I put together some brief thoughts about the encounter - you have done a pretty good job of the analysis - so I kept to a brief comment on move choice. Not being a 1.e4 or Sicilian defence player meant that I do not have a great 'feel' for this opening!
6. ... e5 database most played
7. ... Be6 database most played
8. ... Nbd7 database most played
9. ... b5 database (2nd choice - 11% better results)
10. ... Rc8 database (2nd choice - 21% better results)
11. ... Be7 database most played
12. ... Bc4 database only move
13. ... h6 database Grischuk - Alekseev 2006 won by black!
===============================================================
no database help now ....
14. ... b4 I was now worried to castle and wanted to "organise" d5 - this seemeed thematic. Also I realised that 14. ... a5 allows Nxb5!
15. ... Nxd5 For some reason I had anticipated 15.Ne2 relocating to either g3/f3 helping the k-side attack. Was happy to swap a piece, but with the white pawn occupying d5 this does hem in my Bishop.
16. ... a5 Seemed natural - using the pawns to hopefully eventually provoke some weaknesses.
17. ... Rxc4 only move
18. ... Rc8 again only move
19. ... Qc7 Still frightened of k-side castling - and both minor pieces looking awkward - did not like the position but carried on with the theme.
20. ... Nb6 Now I needed Nc5 to work when I could probably just survive. Obviously this would be a blunder allowing Bxc5 & d6. So what do I do with this Knight - I think about now I was starting to get worried.
21. ... Nc4 looks impressive, but doesn't actually do a lot!
22. ... a4 trying to make something happen!
23. ... Na5 wanting to play b3 without giving up a pawn
24. ... Nb7 trying to swing the knight back to c5.....
25. ... hxg5 well run out of ideas - thought I could swap off the inactive rook
26. ... Rxh1 only move
27. ... Qa5 running out of decent moves - at least threatens d5 and perhaps something down the a-file.
28. ... axb3 hoping for 29.fxe7?? - lol
29. ... Bf8 lots of moves lose quickly - and I still do not have a threat
30. ... Bxg7 only move
31. ... Ke7 Kingside attack has broken through
32. ... Rd8 I thought I could not allow Qd7+
33. ... resigns [lots of nice mating patterns - my fav - fxg6 Qe6+ Kf8 Nh7#]
Why did I lose? Well between moves 20 and 24 I made 4 Knight moves Nd7-b6-c4-a5-b7 where it ended up dysfunctional! "
"I think this shows the importance of not only developing pieces, but making sure they have scope/usefulness. My two minor pieces were seriously ineffectual, and so I could not cope with your king side build up. Just one small point - When I was abandoning K-side castling as an idea (as too dangerous [rather ironic!!]) - I was always looking for a position with the king "safe" on d7/e7. But I felt I needed the Bishop (e7) for this - so hence avoiding exchanging it when I could. However, my queenside counter play never really took off - so if I was to replay the game - I would endeavour to get the knight to c5 by all means possible - and I am assuming this can be done! Then maybe the Black Q-side initiative would deflect White.... [one can but hope - lol], Thanks"
