13.Nd3 { I was now very optimistic about my prospects as I'd had this position several times before. Black has 2 bishops but it's hard to get active play for the one on g7. White has a straightforward attack with b4 and b5 to weaken black's pawns. Black will then either get a weak pawn on c6 in which case white's knight has the beautiful square c5, or black will get an isolated d-pawn in which case white's knight will go to f4 to attck that pawn. } 13...h5 { But this was a new idea to me. Black does not want to castle and allow the technical sort of position discussed above. Instead he goes for a kingside attack to distract white. }

22.e4⁈ { This leads to simplifications and a draw. I feel this position shouuld be good for white but I still don't see a clear continuation - maybe I'm wrong. I wanted to play Rad1 first but Bg4 seems annoying. } 22...dxe4
