Just a few quick comments:

 

26. ... Rh8 was a bad mistake that lost the game for Black. Without that move he was better.

 

Earlier 11. Nxd4 is better than Bxh7 in my view.

 

After 7. e5 Bxc3+ followed by Qc7 threathening both the e5 pawn and Qxc3+ with the rook on a1. I'm not sure it works for Black, but White needs to be aware of it

well 7)e5 Bxc3 i liked that move, it would have been a good trade off for black

move 11) i did that hopin to get a mate out of it, as you can see it didnt happen but when he moved f5 i should have (ep) keeping my queen where it was. but maybe it wouldnt have worked out

and move 26) it prolly wasnt on of his better moves.

well thanks for the insite

The Victor analyzes his own games. The Loser asks for suggestions.

you had a good attack, but i was able to defend and come out on top. but then i gave up the fork stupidly. i had already put this game into the mental "i won" bucket ;) ah, the hubris...

o.O    hubris.  Haven't heard that term in a while.  Very well put, Erik.

Wait...you won, but you want analysis? Doesn't that break some kind of moral code or something?

26... Rh8 is bad but 27... Kd8 is worse, if black would have played 27... Kf7 the material seems roughly equal. But after one small mistake others usually follow, damn psychology.
