The c3 move was to prepare for Qb3 which could have been played at move 6. Stockfish is also showing Bf4.
I don't know why you played 11...Rc8 Stockfish says b5 and I would have played Qb6 or Nh5 to see what white would do with the bishop.
At move 16, I would not go for the trade. Why not double rooks with Rfc8? Stockfish says a5 but I still like the tasty Rfc8. Later, Stockfish picks Ra8. Not a human move if you ask me.
After that, your rooks look stranded. Good maneuvering on your part to take down some pawns.
Conclusion, white was not prepared and gave away pawns at the end. You didn't blunder so you deserve the win. Thank you for allowing me to analyze this game. I learn also.
What would be the point of doubling rooks? More c-file pressure, or...
And why do my rooks look stranded? If I have a better idea of what you're getting at, I would be in a better position to assess your claims.
Thanks for the help!
Looks good to me. I doubt you need to play 6. ... bd7, but other than that nothing jumped out.
11.- b5 in order to start a minority pawn attack in the carlsbad pawn structure.
16.-Bd6 is a mistake I think. You traded your good bishop against his bad bishop.
Losing pawns in the rook ending does not matter that much, but passive play is deadly. 28.Ree1 was a mistake and while 28.Rc5 b5 29.Kf3 would lose a pawn, too, he would get counterplay after 29.- Raa3 30. d5!.

20...a5 (You played Rc4 instead)
21.Kf1 a4 22.a3 f6 23.Red1 Kf7 24.Ke2 g6 25.Kd3 Rbc6 26.Kc2 b5 27.g4 Nb6 28.Ne1 Nc4 29.Nd3 Rh8 30.Rg1 g5 31.Rbe1 h5 32.Nc5
It's just a matter of openness. See how free the rooks can breathe now?
Okay, I understand that you don't have all day to keep answering my questions, but a long(ish) variation brings up more questions than it answers! All I'm getting now is a string of moves with one concept of "openness." I admit, I'm not a strong player, so half the moves have no meaning for me! I like the position of my h8 rook, but my rook on c6 is tied to the defense of e6, for goodness' sake! I know you have no obligation to give me any answers. It's just that I'm getting help in some vague ways.
Hello!
I wanted to share a game which apparently caused the basic computer analysis on chess.com to register no inaccuracies, mistakes, or blunders. I knew I was proud of the game, but was it really that good?! Please help me analyze.
Thanks,
