    I'm unsure how sound my judgment of position is. To me the game seemed fairly even until I lost material to tactics, I think due to my weakened kingside and some wasted tempo. I've annotated with my thinking at various points. Thoughts would be appreciated.

    I wasn't crazy about 10...c5. What about 10...Nd7, swapping his good B for your bad one?

    Your plan of h6 followed by Nh7 is plausible, but you took your eye off the center, which could still be opened up.

    Yhe return of the white-squred Bishop to the b1-g8 diagonal is a theme that reoccurs often in these kinds of positions. Once the center opens up, the B is suddenly very strong on the diagonal.

    Despite a few mistakes, after 29...d5, you are still right in the game
