This is my first tournament game at standard controls, 2 hours per game against a 1600. I was Black. What do you think? Any suggestions?

1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 g6 3. g3 Bg7 4. Bg2 Nc6 5. d3 Nf6 6. f4 O-O { d6! } 7. Nf3 d6
8. h3 Qc7 { A waiting move preparing b5. Perhaps, Rb8 was better. } 9. O-O a6
10. g4 b5 11. Qe1 Bb7 12. Ne2 Nb4 13. Qd1 d5 14. e5 Nd7 15. c3 Nc6 16. d4 cxd4
17. Nfxd4 e6 18. Nxc6 Qxc6 19. Nd4 Qc4 20. Qe2 Qxe2 21. Nxe2 Rac8 22. Be3 Nc5
23. Bxc5 Rxc5 24. Nd4 Rc4 25. g5 b4 26. Ne2 Rfc8 { If b3, leads to favorable
complications. Moves other than b3 lead to virtually lost positions for White.
Whie has to walk a tight rope. bxc3 would have been even better, but it is
easier for White to find the correct moves. } 27. b3 Rxc3 28. Nxc3 bxc3 29. Kf2
a5 30. Rac1 c2 { After Re1, the game would turn into a draw, but would
otherwise be lost. Bf8 is better, but it is easier for White to find the
correct drawing moves. } 31. Ke3 Bf8 32. Rh1 d4+ 33. Kxd4 Bxg2 34. Rh2 Ba3 35.
Rxg2 Bxc1 36. Kd3 Bxf4 {It is meaningless now, but Bd2 is faster.} 0-1
