9. Na3 b5 10. c3 Ng6 11. Nc2 {While analyzing this position, I started seeing 
the ideas that guided my play in this game. Some of the variations I looked at
were fascinating and I saw the first seeds of what turned out to be the
winning combination!} Be7 12. Nfe1 O-O 13. f4 Nh4 14. b4 Qe8 15. Bd3 Bd8 16. g3
Nf5 17. g4 Nh4 18. Bxh7+ Kxh7 19. Qd3+ Kg8 20. Qh3 h5 21. g5 Nf5 22. Qxh5 g6 {
White has won a pawn, but in this closed position black can set up a defensive
barrier on the kingside which prevents white from taking advantage of the
extra pawn.} 23. Qg4 Kg7 24. Rf3 Rh8 25. Ng2 Be7 26. Bd2 Rh7 27. h4 Rh5 {
Even if black sacrifices the rook for a knight on h5, there is still no way
for white to break through. White/^s bishop also looks useless, so what can
white do? The chess engines like white/^s positions, but when I looked at the
variations, they weren/^t making any progress. Just shifting pieces back and
forth.} 28. Rh3 Qh8 29. Nge3 Rg8 30. Kg2 Kf8 31. Rah1 Rg7 32. Be1 Ke8 {
This still looks like white is shifting pieces back and forth... but actually
he had been aiming at this position for a longtime!} 33. c4 $1 {This <<impossib
le move>> is the start of a deep combination. My opponent can/^t be blamed for
not seeing this breakthrough as none of the top engines at the time could find
it. This is an example of how good ideas can trump even the strongest engines.
I briefly checked Stockfish 10 (released in Nov. 2018) and it/^s still
clueless.} bxc4 34. Qf3 {A nice quiet move.} Rgh7 35. b5 {
White sacrifices another pawn.} cxb5 36. Nxf5 gxf5 {White has sacrificed a
pawn, but black/^s center looks strong and he has two connected passed pawns!
So what is white/^s plan?} 37. Ne3 {Now the cracks in black/^s position start
to show. His center is not as strong as it looked and all his heavy pieces are
locked out of play on the kingside.} Nf8 38. Nxd5 exd5 39. Qxd5 {
White only has one pawn for a knight, but black/^s position is hopeless.} Ne6
40. Qa8+ Kd7 41. Qxa7+ Nc7 42. d5 Qa8 43. Qxa8 Nxa8 44. d6 Bd8 {Even if black
managed to exchange queens his pieces are scattered randomly over the board
and white doesn/^t give him any time to set up a meaningful defense.} 45. Bc3
