Tim -

Good game. Nice positional grind. I like your move-by-move comments. I do have a couple questions that I'd like to get your thoughts on:

15.f4 - I see that white's trying to gain some activity, but is 15...exf4 16.gxf4 worth it? Seems to weaken white's kingside a bit. Do you think white was worried that you would pressure his d3 pawn, and that trading off your e-pawn and getting in d4 was an answer? Does white have any alternatives (maybe a queenside advance like you mentioned earler?)

43...Qc3 - did you feel like the e3 pawn was going to drop anyways instead of playing Nxe3 here? Why didn't white play 43.Qg3 instead? Just curious.
