The way I see it white:
 
1. Constructs his own gallows with a tempo wasting 'knights tour' at the commencement of play.
 
2. Compounds this folly with a foolish parade by his queen in mid-game. Black doesn't move his Q until move 18.
 
3. Wastes more tempi by a flanking pawn move which serves no purpose except to allow black to commence his reduction.
 
At what point does white cease to have a winnable game? Opinions anyone?

move 5 would be my guess
