This is a game I played on live chess with time controls 30 5. I'm proud of it as I combined strategy with tactics quite well and got a strong attack.
Feel free to comment on how I could improve.
Really nice. Maybe he should have played 12.e5, as e5 from you was just deadly.
Yeah he had to play ...e5 at some point.
Very neat win, you have outplayed your opponent from the beginning. Only thing I could add (engine suggestion) is that an earlier e6 when the queen battery was set (18.e6) would end it quicker. Worst case scenario you get the two kingside pawns with 18...Nf6 19.exf7+ Rxf7 20.Nxe7+ Qxe7 21.Qxg6+ & Qxh6. Engines suggest 21.Nh4 (to take away f5 from the bishop and threaten Bb3 skewer).
Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure why e6 only came to me after Bb3, it was a long time ago, so I don't quite remember, I think it's possible I only saw the idea of e6 after Bb3, and Bb3 probably drawed me in because it puts the bishop on a very strong diagonal with tempo basically. But yeah overall I think I played pretty well, exploiting the advantage of the two pawn center.
