Here is a game I played where I got into what I thought was a key position where I had to come up with a good plan. I think I found a good one, and my opponent rather than coming up with his own, just reacted to my moves and blundered big time. I have been reading alot of silman lately and he always stresses that when you are starting to make reactionary moves you are playing losing chess so I felt like I was doing something right in this game. Let me know what you think.

Very nice game. I don't really have any suggestions on where you could have done better and based upon your analysis comments it is obvious that you played with purpose. You stuck with your plan which worked out well for you.
About the only advice I could give is be sure you are putting the same rigor in analyzing your losses as there is typically more to be learned from where you went wrong!
Keep up the good work!
thanks irmall. I actually posted one of my losses on my last thread I made. I usually base on whether not I post on how instructive the game seemed. a couple of my recent losses were pretty much based on blatant god awful blunders lol. So while I went over them as thoroughly as I could, it didnt seem worthwhile to post em. Where as my last loss I posted because I thought I played well but I found some key mistakes that resulted in my position worsening and ultimately losing.
