Calum.
White's opening is slow an unambitious. White makes a bunch of pawn moves before developing any pieces. White then puts his bishops on d2 and e2 where they don't really influence the position.
This setup makes it easy for white to overlook the danger he is in and lose a piece with 10. Ne4?
White hung more material with 20. Rb7.
I would say you need to be more careful with giving away material for free.
You opened beautifully. It's a shame that you couldn't protect your high value pieces like your opponent.
Next time try d4 followed by Ne6 followed by Bb6. That's a spanish open ;)
