1. g3 e5 2. Nc3 d5 3. d4 e4 4. Nh3 c6 5.
f3 f5 6. fxe4 fxe4 7. Bg5 Be7 8. Qd2 Nf6 9. O-O-O O-O 10. Bg2 a5 11. Rhf1 b5
12. e3 a4 13. Kb1 b4 14. Ne2 Bg4 15. Nf2 Bh5 16. Bh3 Nbd7 17. Bf5 Nb6 18. g4
Bf7 19. Nf4 Nc4 20. Qe2 Qd6 21. Bh4 Rfb8 22. Bg3 b3

I think that white might already be in trouble, but Bg3 is not a good move.
Better is probably g5.  After Bg3 black has an easy attack and win.

BTW, I inserted the correct moves there.
