Odd opening but strong play

 So, I was at my local chess club about two weeks ago, and during an internal tournament I played this game as black.

As I have been analysing it I've come up with some questions and would like to hear what you people have to say about the game.

How good is 2. g3 for white? To me it just seemed wierd.

Other moves I've been wondering about are 27. ... c6?! and 32. Rd1?.

Thank you!

It is called the King's fianchetto according to http://www.csm.astate.edu/~wpaulsen/chess/intro.htm

I don't know if it is a good idea. I have been experimenting with 1 d4... 2 b3 which protects the d pawn and when it's gone I have a bishop pointing to his kingside, where the other guy will probably have castled.

 Yeah, but here the e4 pawn is locked for a considerable time, and when it's out of the way white's light squared bishop is long gone. I guess he wanted to make it useful by wasting a move playing 5. Bh3?, but as I see it it only weakens his position even more.

Chessmaster recommended 5. ... Bxh3, which is probably fine, seeing how weak the light squares become on his kingside.

white's wasted opening moves were much worse than his fianchettoed king's bishop.  Black had 3 developed pieces to white's one.  You missed 5) or

6).... BxBh3

7)NxBh3 Qd7

and if

8) Ng5 h3 and your lead in development snowballs

9)Nf3 Ng4

I think 27....c6 was necessary as was white's Rd1 but it should have been preceded by h4,

I think your 35...e5 was risky

36)c5+ Kxc5

37 Kb1 threatening Rc1

PS did you mean 37 Rd1?? Your intro notes have 32 Rd1, but you give 37 the question mark under the move .

Yes, that's true, and I sort of realized it (hence my bxc4 move directly after). But Qa8 defends the knight in case white plays Rc1, and I still have my Rg1 move if he tries to move his rook up the board, as I played later on.

 And yes, sorry, I meant 37. ... Rd1?, not 32. ... Rd1.
