OK, so it's no Hamppe vs Meitner (Check it out, great game), but I was very impressed by my play, mostly because it's been so poor lately.

and here comes the anlyses...

6Be2 is not novelty it is actually played often

14.c4? was a big mistake...of cource even after it you still have a significant advantage....although i think it is bad because of Nd2! after that you are threatening the black night on g4 and you are also heading for d6...so after Qf5 Bxg4 Qxg4 Ne4 your computer could resign...

15d5?? no this move is really bad because as you say in your comments Rad1 would give you a huge advantage... karpov was always bringing the last piece in an active square before he made  the breakthrough...you just played to quick...

21Rh1 ?! i have to admit that this is very inspired but i don't know whether it is that good...bettr was dxe6. now i have to say that the rook sacrifice works brilliant after Qe5...congrats...

although if your opponet plyed a5!!! you would get a hard time! because after Qd6 he then playes Qe5 and he forces the exchange of quenns and the endgame is propably lost for you because of the many pawn weaknesse you have...

finally you should have taken the bishiop instead of 28 qe7! and you have threats all over the place...

well played you did some mistakes but who doesn't it was a really interesting game worth analising!
