I haven't analyzed the game yet, just done a quick blunder check with Fritz.
Some comments:
10. Ne5 is probably better, but I had read about 10. Nd2 and wanted to try it.
I think his 20... Rfe8 is imprecise because his f-pawn gets weak. Around this time I started to enjoy the game.
He then decided to give a pawn and try his luck in the endgame but I was fairly confident to win it.
The game would have been 30 moves shorter if I had played 32. Rc1 because he can't stop R1xc4 and then Rc8. Or 33. Rf1 when he can't stop e5, e6 etc. As it was his pieces become active but my position was already so good that even I did not manage to spoil it.
