Switching gears/flanks

Here's a game that showcases how one can build up control on one flank but suddenly switch to the other flank when you've drawn enough attention away from the other/real threat.

I am playing white against ChessGenius set at the higest "Easy" level.

You played well but black seemed to waste a lot of time making pointless king moves in the mid game instead of trying for a proper defense.  That said,  well done exploiting the weaknesses in blacks defense.  You also showed a strong understanding of opening theory.   Well done. Congratulations on the win.

Are you referring to his moves 16 and 17?  I thought he was trying to protect his h-pawn and then double up his rook looking straight down my king? Please feel free to point out the best moves; I'm always interested to know how both sides could play better.

Thanks for the compliment. :-)
