Nb4 is an idea. I don't know if it's correct or not. It's a personal gripe of mine when players attack while they leave pieces unactivated, but I can see your point.
Back to my pet peeve, I don't like Qb6 and f6 before castling, and Qb6 unnecessarily limits your options (maybe a knight or pawn on b6, maybe a queen on c7 or a5) but it's probably fine.
Bg7 just looks bad. Primarily because your dark squares, but I like to say it as "your remaining pieces aren't good enough" so this is a bad trade. White has a clear idea of piling on e5 and then he can go for the king or queenside I guess... but your minors just seem worse than their counterparts. On the plus side I think this move made your opponent go a little crazy :) I think he sees your undeveloped queenside, the dark squares, and decides he must be winning. Unfortunately for him he allows you to play e5.
So yeah, after the trade allowing e5 was definitely a mistake on white's part. He apparently thought his two piece attack was going to win the game or something.
24.h3 had to be a consideration of your opponent.
Then there's a tactic, and you lose that pawn. Your king is loose and the pawns are isolated so you can't really win at this point IMO. Maybe there's no winning attack, but the endgame will be pretty rough with pawns like that.
27.Rxe7+ looks good superficially because he takes away an active piece... but "his remaining pieces" thing, so I don't like that.
Then he kinda freaked out again and saced his knight. This time wanting to win with only 1 attacker (?) At least he knew to take the perpetual. Unfortunately 34...Re8 allowed the perpetual, otherwise it's white who's not looking good at that point.
Congrats on the upset! I know it was a draw, but he was rated much higher :)
Hello, this is my first post here, so I appologize for anything I do wrong. This game is from a recent tournament and the ratings are USCF fyi. Any feedback on this game or what I can do to improve in general would be much appreciated. This was long time control by the way.
