Pushing king-side pawns. Can it work?

Hello, I just played an excellent game, but I had trouble breaking my opponent's kingside when I had 5 pieces  hovering over it, and he had only 3 defending.

If you all could, tell me a way to break his king-side with clear compensation, because, given my position, being thwarted contiunually was frustrating.

A lot of thought went into these moves, but if you could give me a way in, that'd be great.

Just a few quick comments...

On move 14 after 14. h3 you have a very nice follow-up of 14. ...Nxe3! Don't forget to look at forcing moves especially with such aggressively placed pieces!

If you have any other questions don't hesitate to send me a message.

Best!

I haven't given it much thought, but what about 36... Rc3? That should win,with the threat of Rc1 if Qd2.I think e2 and d1 are too weak for him too hold.

So you mean with combos like Nxe3!! Fxe3? Qxg3+ Kh1 Qh2#

So, like:

Sometimes when you have games like this, where the opponent castles early, it can be helpful to try and develop your pieces toward the opponent's king or to use pawns on the side that the king is on to destroy your opponenent's position, rather than castling shortly after yourself. If they make it obvious that their king is going one way or the other it tends to be best to try and capitalize on that early and attack the king, or send your pieces to attack in that general direction so that when you do start an attack you'll be more likely to get ahead in a tempo or win a piece

I think the pawn structure was in favour of me king-side castling... To be precise, d4, d5, e4, and e3 created a huge block for white making a king-side attack difficult for him, but easy for me to attack. It is too bad I missed the mate in 3 on move 14

Move 23 coulda been checkmate on black or white just slides his inactive took behind his queen and triple check, the last one being a mate

Modern chess isnt based on principles but on indepth analysis of a certain position. Take a look at Seirawan vs Beliavsky 1988.

Principles would tell you not to push kingside pawns so early in the game but analysis of the positions says it is sound. 

So, depends on the position, lol.

Hm, strange that nobody really looked at the opening moves, but what immediately comes into mind looking at the position after move 11 is the bishop sacrifice on h2 (greek gift sac). This wins without much difficulty on move 11 and move 12, therefore 12 ... Ng4 might be ok, but clearly not the best.

Nobody looks at the games, we just answer the thread's title lol.

12. Bxh2+! followed by 13. Ng4+ if White takes and 14. Qh4 if the king retreats to g1.
