Originally posted by robbebopI wouldn't have castled Q side when the black a and b pawns were already on their way. The game became an opposing side pawn rush, but your opponent had a two move head start.

This was made worse by the knight and bishop on c3 and d3 which make juicy targets for a pawn to be able to advance with tempo.

White had to generate counter-play on the Kingside. The move h4 must always be
