I won’t be able to use the h-file. But I am glad to be rid of your bishop pair. It would have been both a strong offensive and defensive force. It took me some times to figure out it was one of the keys of the position.
Now I think I can play for 2 results : win or draw, unless I make a big mistake, of course. I now agree that white is better. 
Watch out, this message contains a small amount of psychological warfare

Yes, all the positions I had on my chess board after hxg6 ... hxg6 looked very dangerous for black. I'm relieved I don't have to worry about that (for now).

Yes, well I didn't have much choice. Going back to a6 was possible, but it felt like giving white the initiative and still risking an opening of the h-line. Are you saying that the bishop should have stayed in a6 (in the 21th move)?

Staying with the bishop on a6 and exchanging on c4 would have given the same type of ending. Because right now, I consider it is an ending ! And a good one for me !!!
I was thinking of 23 ... Ba6 (yes moving back) as the best, but I am afraid that 24 hxg6 ... hxg6, 25 e6! would have given me a very dangerous attack.
But maybe it was the best anyway as now you’re going to suffer without much hope of counterplay. Over the board it would be (almost) unbearable, but maybe that in postal chess you can manage a cool defense ...

Patience is the key
I like my little "prophylactic" 25 f3

Yes, but if the bishop would have stayed in a6 in the 21th move, then I suppose I wouldn't have made the exchange on c4. Maybe 21... Bb7 or 21 ... Nd5 (if it is possible in that position, no chessboard here) were better?
Still, you think this is a clear win for white?
BTW, I expected 25. f4 ... What's this new devilery?

It’s still not a clear win for white. But in the course of the game , I am (almost) sure not to lose now. It’s a 2 results game ...

One always expect his opponent to do well
And always rejoyce at his mistakes
Sounds like a chinese proverb 
But I'm not saying you made any mistake right now

Yes, thanks.
Sorry for not posting! I've returned to Sweden from Geneva and I've had lots of things to do at the office so I haven't looked at the game at all. My next move will have to wait a couple of more days.
