Looks like it followed our game until 13.h3, which I have to assume is superior since it worked out better for white, but what does white do after 13...Bh5?
to get rid of the bishop and weakening the black pawn structure
at the same time.

1.e4 e5 2.f4 Bc5[/b]Thanks for the advice.
I just applied this on my latest game and I found myself pretty confortable Game 3556488.. that bishop remained pain till the end for the opponent.

Originally posted by KorchKorch gives some analysis after 26.Rdd7 suggesting that 26.Rf1 would have offered more resistance. I would point out that White can get an improved version of this line by playing 25.Rxb7 and after 25...g6 continuing 26.Rf1 (rather than 26.a4) Raxa2 27.Rfxf7 Ra1+ 28.Rf1 Rxf1+ 29.Kxf1 and White is a tempo up over the suggested line. The question is: Is this enough of a difference to change the outcome? My gut feeling is no, but it is worth investigating.

23.Re4 Rd2 24.Re7 Rxb2 25.Rd1
After 25.Rxb7 g6 26.a4 (otherwise black will take on a2) Re8 (with doubling rooks on 2nd horizontal in next move) black is wins easily.
25…g6 26.Rdd7?
Making my task simpler. After 26.Rf1 Raxa2 27.Rfxf7 Ra1+ 28.Rf1 Rxf1+ 29.Kxf1 b5 30.Rxb7 b4 31.cxb4 cxb4 black should win, but it won`t be so easy as in game.

This is an interesting KG game that I just finished. I'm still a little bewildered by it.

Come on dont be bitter the guy beat you let it go
So I sound bitter? Am I behaving like a prat?
At least I played all the game and didn't let him time me out once I was beaten, then when no hope was left I resigned.
