A tough middle and endgame

Here is an interesting game that I played with a tough opponent.  :)  If you are into midgame and endgame studies then this is for you.  :)  This shows how tough it can be with a small material advantage.  :)  I posted a game earlier that showed an endgame with R + P + K vs N + P + K that went to a draw.  :)  In that game I am not sure if there was a win, but I did win this one.  :)  Also, it did take awhile to type up all of the comments on each move.  :)  Enjoy!

In my note for 8...Bd7 it says

 

His plan is to play Bc6 attacking my queen and gaining some central control with tempo. :) I can't play 9 Qxb7 because of 9 Qxb7 Bc6 forking my queen and the g2 pawn 10 Qxb4 Bxg2 and he would win my h1 rook. :)

 

Actually if 9 Qxb7 then black wants to do the inbetween move of 9...Bxc3+ and then 10...Bc6 so black will not lose the dark bishop for nothing.  :)  I did see that at the time of the move, but when it came time to type up the analysis I didn't think much about it until I looked at it again since it does take awhile to type these up.  :)

18 d5 would have created a very nice break through up the center.  :)  I never considered it in the game.  18 d5 probably was the better move.  A very nice find.  :)
