8..d5  (utilizing the fact that the knight on f5 is hanging if white captures on d5)

18. Qxd7

now the positives. I actually liked 13...Nxe4 as it cements black's strength in the center.

I am not too convinced with your plan of trying to fianchetto the dark bishop - like I said above, d5! was the way to go.

good ending though. I liked it too =)

Ah, but fianchettoing the dark bishop allowed for the nice finish! =)

Thanks for looking this over!
