The middlegame is tense. Just who is attacking who? White is the plan for white? Is the a combination?

White played sharply for mutual attacks but went into an ending where the g-pawn was a potential weakness. After the last move 25.Bf2 black has a good chance to get the advantage. How?

BTCh Division I: RAC I 4- BEAC III 8-Rd3 2012-11-11
RAC I got crushed by the defending champion BEAC 4-8. I won my game which I should have lost quickly but this was not enough. The round started with a bit of organizational drama as my team Rakosligeti(RAC) did not have any scoresheets so some had to be brought from another playing site.
Our top two boards drew
1. Radnai vs Kormos,A drew in Sicilian sideline that went to an early queenless game.
2. IM Szabolcs,J drew with a slightly better position
3.Szepes,T won with black
5.Mihok,: lost
10.Kun,S was a quick draw.
I had a go taking some pictures with a borrowed camera so hopefully these will be added later.

Division 1 BTCh (3), 11.11.2012
The game was was a sloppy effort by two sleepy heads having an early morning duel. White was clearly winning but missed the chance(s) to crush me and I made a comeback by inducing some complex play. Eventually white got a bit disoriented and won a pawn but lost the initiative. Black got an attack going and white followed up with a couple of unforturnated errors. Eventually I won the resulting Q(4Ps) vs RN(2Ps) ending as white could not construct a fortress.
Now black is on the attack. How should the game continue?

Brooklyn Castle(movie) Trailer
A very interesting chess documentary.
‘In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, parents struggle to help their children cope with the fact that their homes are no longer their castles and the uncertainty each new day brings. Last night some of the stars of the new documentary film “Brooklyn Castle” talked to me by phone while sitting in the green room of “The Daily Show.” They reflected on how chess is their anchor for every kind of storm life throws at them.-

Hambleton,A(CAN 2348) Crushes the Nimzo-Indian
The following game contains the following middlegame themes
- Weak pawns
- Weak light squares
- Play on open files
Hambleton,A (2348) – Priyadharshan,K (2407)
4.Qc2 Nimzo-Indian[E32]
Spice Cup Open Saint Louis USA (7), 18.10.2012
Black allowed weak pawns throughout his position and was punished in model fashion. In the diagrammed position black has been tied down on the c-file and has less space. The kingside is also looking vulnerable. How should white continue? What is the plan? Maybe there is a combination?
