What do you guys think of this game at that time i had the rating at 1090

excellent game, you have to love discovered attacks especially ending in mate

White played some really nice moves. Though 7. a3 is pretty wimpy. Something with a little more mustard like 7. d4 would be nice.

 

Again, 8. d3, this is chess, it's a fight! 8. d4, go get 'em! 

 

16. d5, blocking the diagonal of your bishop, allowing the opponent to castle. 

I was thinking to make my 8th move at d4, but i saw that a3 was better othewise black could force an knight bishop exchange by 8) Kc6 to a5, and i realy like my bishop there in case he would castle (wich he did). And that wite bishop was realy helpfull.

 7 a3 may be ok to save the B for open a2-g8 diagonal. But what Loomis was saying was at move 8 d3 is weaker than 8 d4!; you're castled and have a slight advantage in tempo & other positional factors, and should be opening the position in the center; you played d4 at move 15 but in this case sooner is better. At move 23...Kh8! makes your B far less important! But pretty well played!
