Here is a game I recently played on live chess, where I developed faster than my opponent. The problem was, I didn't know how to proceed after that, so I just moved my pieces around until I saw something I could take advantage of. So, I ask, what do you think of the position after the opening? What long-term goals (or short term) would you have for this position and why?  Thanks for your help.

It looks like you have a very strong hold on the center, after your opening position. I would've tried 12. Re1 to take control of the e-file.

On a strategical note, a good plan would've been to move your queenside pawns in a way that cramps Black's dark squared bishop. Throughout the game you left your queenside completely defenseless, but it seems for the greater good, because you completely cornered Black's king.

Usually when you get done with the opening sequence, the game becomes very dynamic (except for closed games, and those are usually defined by subtle moves, and longer time restraints ). There's not much advice to give after your opening position. Maybe study over it yourself? Look over each move, and find out which squares are weak, who controls them, and how important they are to your plan. You opened very well though.

Good game!
