Poor positional play

The game I'm sharing in this post is one I lost a few months ago. I think I should use this game to overcome some of my positional weakness. My plan of expanding and opening lines on the queenside wasn't just unproductive, it created weaknesses in my camp that eventually became undefendable. In the end I didn't have the defensive position on the kingside and the whole thing fell apart.

 

The annotated game says it all:

 


Welcome to my blog! In the USCF I am rated 1921.

 

The content posted here is from my real chess experience, either games I've played or observed. I'll try to put an instructive twist on it. So if you're looking for a glimpse into how a B player thinks about the game, check in and see what I've got. Well, recently my rating has gone over 1800, so perhaps I should list myself as class A instead of class B, but it's not a huge difference.
