Hi, this is my best game at chess.com so far (i think!) I was quite pleased with the way i set up my attack. But i am looking for some constructive criticism. What do you guys think (ps my opponent ran out of time but as far as i can see he cannot win) I think he was rated at about 1390 when i began playing him

6.e5 would have forked his bishop and knight.

 Thanks! I missed that.

Move 15: Bishop g5 would have forked Queen and Rook, but I see you're own plan worked out well....

 It would have skewered the rook, you mean.

9. Ne5, I think better was 9. Bh6 stifling the kingside a bit. 

19. c3,  better was 19. Rf3.  This move would justify playing f4 earlier. If black responded to your move with Bf8, he may have survived the attack, but I'm not sure.

22. Qf6+,  should be marked "!!"

for me this game gave me images of Ali- Foreman fight when the tension was mounting and then when Ali decided to put Foreman away in rd8 that's how excited i got as you got your pieces near black's king.  Nicely done!

some great chances to attack. nice mating net

Very interesting sacrifice, what about 13... e5  ??

 Yes, looking back on the game i would have played that earlier. However, maybe black would have got scared and the attack might not have worked. Who knows? 

 

Thanks for everyones feedback
