    hi there...

    I am of the opinion that you would do better by annotating your games.
    it gives a reader the feel for the game and makes it easier to point out the mistakes/improvements.

    anyway, ive taken poetic liberty with your game below.

    i dont think you really need some endgame input cos evidently you are WAY stronger than your opponent and easily outsmarted him on the board.

    You missed a nice knockout blow that would have dazzled your pops.

     

    18. Nb6+! axb6 (or else you munch on his queen) 19. Be6; his queen is yours.

    I'm glad you mentioned that because I was actually thinking of this move at the time but I was too lazy to think it through! Thanks for pointing it out though!

    Why not 39.Kb3 and black can't hope to stop 3 connected passed pawns?

    I'm certainly not expert, but as far as the game goes after trading queens on move 30 you spent a few tempos reacting to black's game when the f2 pawn is pretty hard to stop in it's own right. Once to move 41 it feels slow and your king is totally not utilized when it's stronger than your bishop in that position.

    Again I'll point out my rating is low to save anyone the time of going to my profile, however I do read Silman's endgame course through at least once a week, and from him analysis it feels like your king is passive and your react maybe a bit too much to your opponent's plans and surrender the initiative when it can still be maintained.
