Seemed prettty well played on both sides. I question 13- g2 g3. If blocking Nf3 threatening Q. Your B has square covered leading to N for B swap at worst. I like 13 h2 h3 threatehing black B on g4. Thoughts?

Black mate sequence was creative as was opening.

Also wonder why not 22. QxBh3? Would put you up a B and a N. Trade pieces and simplify board while moving toward end game.

On the g2-g3, I didn't like the idea of the knight getting to f4, looked like I would be forced to take with bishop at which point I would have had a pawn storm coming down on the king.

You are right about taking the bishop, I forgot I would have gotten 3 pieces for the queen when he pins me with the rook and then the queen checks and I have an escape. Would have been a much different game after that for sure.
