Giuoco Piano 2200 vs 2400 game

This guy trashed me 3-1 in a match, here's the one game that I did win against him. Wanted to share this one, I feel it's a nice game. Feel free to share your opinions, comments, thoughts, ideas, analysis etc (as long as you're being constructive and well meaning! :D ) . Cheers!

Strange game. What was his idea behind his 10...Be6 and 11...Qd7? Hand you the bishop's pair? Then open the position with 12...d5?
Well played by you.

Thank you :). I think Be6 is more or less normal in these positions, but I agree, I'm not sure what Qd7 was about... Perhaps he was aiming for a sac on h3? Doesn't seem objectively correct. Or maybe he just wanted Rad8 and preparing d5?

...Be6 is standard, but without ...Re8, and with the intention after Bxe6 to recapture ...fxe6 and then ...d5.
If he wanted to threaten a sacrifice on h3, he should have played ...h6 first to prevent Ng5.
First ceding the bishop's pair and then opening the position with ...d5 seems weird. The move ...Be6 is normally played with the aim to restrict the influence of Bb3 along the diagonal to f7, but here black trades his Be6 for Ng5, and then recaptures with his rook, enabling you to restore the power of your Bb3 and at the same time with his ...d5 he weakens his pawn e5. That is what won you the game: with the beautiful bishop move 34 Be6! you win his pawn e5.

One small thing I have to disagree with - in the giuoco piano, it's not uncommon to want to recapture on e6 with the rook. The doubled pawns do seem strategically desirable, but they can also be weak long term. I suspect he'd overlooked the fact that Ng5 was trapping the e6 bishop into this exchange, which proved to be a big factor in the game, as you said. Probably d5 was wrong too, but I think he already felt too committed to the idea of playing that move to suddenly change plans - a common psychological trap in chess.
