I think 9. ... Nxd4 was a poor move for black as it allowed you bishop onto the a1-h4 diagonal. He might have considered 9. ... Ne5 to centralize his Knight as well as opening up the c file.
18. ... b5 was a poor move for black as it allowed you Bishop free entry to destroy his pawn structure. Although this also allowed blacks rooks the a&c files, it was to no avail because of your Bishop defending a2.
Well done on maneuvering your Rook into place behind your passed pawn. From there it was easy sailing.
Hello chess.com community,
Today I played a game on ICC against some 400 points Higher rated than me and I won. After a lot of trades and some sneaky moves, I won. However, I still think He could have played better. Can you guys find any improvements for Black?
Thanks,
