Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted a game, or gotten the chance to play at all! The following is a queen's gambit declined game(Slav defense) where I was on the black end.

It looks like pushing the black e-pawn to e6 was the defining mistake of the game. It increased the value of white's dark-squared bishop by walking right into a pin involving it, and it also made possible some tactics by white. Here it is:
