In this game my opponent and I both queened a pawn in the end game to replace the one we lost during the middle game.  My chances came out a little better this time.  My opponent and I have played over 25 games here on chess.com, the best chess site online in my humble opinion, and my opponent still has a winning record over me.

15. ... b6 doesn't make sense to me. What is the purpose behind this move? It weakens your ability to play c6. I think 15. ... f5 would be a better way to go.

18. ... Nb8. Why would you stick your knight so far away from the action?

19. ... Bxh6. There's no reason to take here. Let white take and then you get your king to g7. You come out OK because white can't bring an attack fast enough. Maybe he should have tried playing f4.

 

29. ... Nf3+. This is a mistake. Your knight is better than your opponent's bishop. Why let him trade these two pieces? Also, this loses a pawn for you since the king simply comes forward and takes on f3.

 

Instead of 28. ... Ne5. You should leave the knight on d7 to prevent white from pushing the c-pawn. Double your rooks on the c-file with 28. ... Rc7 and 29. ... Red8. Then you can play Ne5. With this setup, white has to spend all his resources defending the c4 pawn. This allows your king and kingside pawns to come forward, creating a passed pawn on the kingside. White is tied down to defensive duties and the black pieces will swing over to support the kingside pawn when needed.

 

39. ... dxc5. I think axb4 might have been better

41. Rxc5. This is a mistake from white. He can play 41. bxc5
