First of all, I just thought I'd try to ge tthis forum active again, so... here goes!

Here's a game I played a few months ago, in which I had a decent attack going, and yet I managed to mess it up. Looking for any thoughts or suggestions!

If I'm not mistaken, you should have finished the fiencheto.  I learned it in chess club.

On your 12th move you wasted a tempo.

Ok... Response. 

1) Where did I ever begin a fianchetto? 

2) There are other moves that accomplish the same objective... but I'm not giving my b2 pawn away. Admittedly, I could have waited for the capture, but in a quick analysis conducted just now, I believe Black can hold that pawn.

3) Where did I let a pawn take my Bishop... when I took a Knight? (Move 13... Bxc6)
