1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.Nf3 b6 5.Bg5 Be7 6.e3 O-O 7.Bd3 Bb7 8.O-O cxd4 9.exd4 Bxf3 10.Qxf3 Nc6 11.d5
{This move could have been much stronger. If I had centralized one of my rooks (11. Rae1) and let the d-pawn die then the relationship with my queen and d3 bishop could
have been put to amazing use...}
11...Ne5
{I allowed him to force the trade of the powerful Bishop.}
12.Qh3 Nxd3 13.Qxd3 Nxd5 14.Nxd5
{I should have played Bxe7. He now has another of my bishops and the ablitity to seize control of the center.}
14...Bxg5 15.Ne3 d5 16.cxd5
{Trying to make a target for myself with an isolated pawn.}
16...Bxe3
{Without the intended result.}
17.fxe3 Qxd5
{And the tables were offically turned.}
18.Qxd5 exd5 19.Rad1
{Now we're in a rook and pawn endgame, not my forte.}
19...Rad8
{He should have put the rook on e8. This move put us back to even going into the end game.}
20.g4
{20. Rf5 g6 21. Rfxf5 Rxf5 22. Rxf5 and I'm back in this game. I missed out on the equalizer.}
20...Rfe8 21.Rf3 Re4 22.Kf2
{I'm really letting it all fall apart here. I feel as though my attitude toward RP endgames lost this game for me.}
22...d4 23.Ke2 Rxg4 24.exd4 Rgxd4 25.Rxd4 Rxd4 26.Ke3 Rd1 27.Kf4 h6 28.Re3 Rd2 29.Re7
{At this point I was pushing pieces. I didn't know how to fight back down two pawns at the end. }
29...Rxb2 30.Rxa7 Rxh2 31.Ke5 Rb2 32.Ra6 g5 33.Kf5 Kg7 34.Ke5 g4 35.Kf4 h5 36.Kg5 g3
