This is a game I played on another site (before I shifted to chess.com).  I was pretty impressed with my play overall after a few initial mistakes.  I invite comments on what I could have done better.  At the very least, I think this game is pretty exciting from white's point of view.  Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully, that wasn't too wordy.  I wouldn't say there's usually a lot to be learned from my games, but I felt that this time I attacked well and had some good tactical manuevers, especially the pins.  I was able to take advantage of the space on the kingside my pawn structure afforded me.  I look forward to your comments and suggestions on how to improve!

12...Ke5 would have won him a pawn. Good job exploiting those pins

Perhaps this belongs in the showcase forum, as analysis doesn't seem to be your primary reason for posting.

you had already won, but did you consider 32.Qxg7.  I think he will lose his queen still next move unless he moves it to d8 when you can checkmate :)
