1.b4 2.b5 f6 3.Qd4 Qd5 Q:a8

Qd4 Q:a7 Q:a8 would have taken an extra pawn. (HB)

4.Bd5 B:a8 B:g2 B:h1

White hadn't seen this B sequence

5.Bg2 B:h1 e4 f4 Kf2

Trying to avoid future attacks from black g pawn, but white is playing too defensively.

6.e5 B:b4 B:d2 B:f4 B:h2 B:g1+

(!) That was good, because: 1. blocks the dangerous white e-pawn; 2. leaves white bishop at h1 almost out of the game; 3. stops several mating lines; 4. takes 4 pawns in a single move (this will reveal decisive); note that the rook in c1 could also be taken, but the g1 Bishop would remain very effective against black pawns.

7.Ke2 Ndc3 N:b5 N:a7 N:c8 R:g1 Re1

A good defensive move, thinking about a possible invasion of black h1 Rook.

8.Nbc6 Nb4 N:a2 Nb4 N:c2 N:e1 d6 Kf7

(!) Now the King is protecting the 4 most important pieces (d and e pawns, rook and knight) against white Knight sequences. Trying to defend black e1 Knight would lead to complications, as also trying to promote black g7 pawn.
