2 games with my training parter

A middled aged adult (me, newbie_learner) against a veteran player. Both of us enjoy long time controls, so we played 2 games of 90 minutes + 3 second increment per move.

I think my opening play has finally shown signs of maturity/stability. I have also been trying my best to play 'practical' chess as far as possible.

Thanks for taking time to look at my games. Should you have any comments, feedback or criticism, feel free to say it. No need to be nice. I seek feedback for continuous improvement!
