I am a little disappointed you didn't say something, anythin, about 12...b5. It's not the usual. 
He does have open lines, but Black has a solid structure and past Pa6 and potential for his king-side to 'unwind' to become active. At least that's what I thought at the time.
This was what I had to anticipate and consider when thinking about 15...Nxc3. That's what made it a difficult choice:
knowing it gave White Bc1-a3 to pressure Pc5.
21. Qf5 might be met by ...Nd7-e5, threatening ...Nxc4 or ...Nxc6.
In any event it does appear to be better than Bf4.
He spent rather a lot of time on this move.
Your variation looks better, but it's all very copmlicated.
Time control was at move 35. He had less time than me, but we were both moving pretty quickly the last few turns.
White can stop two obediently passed pawns and White has one Black can stop, so I didn't see a win there.
Well, at least you didn't find any terribly overwhelming tatcics either of us could've played; just a few stronger move-chioces (& variations). But, that's to be joyously expected as we're mere humans playing with a runnin clock.
Again, your notes and genberal impressions are pretty much in line with what I thought was going on faithfully during the game.
Probably Qf4 rather than Bf4 would've kept it complicated for 100 years. As it was Bf4 was just so natural and obvious, he couldn't imagine it would lead to difficulteis.
Chess is amaszing that way sometimes..
