myk99 vs Mr. Crow

Here is a game that we just finished. Any input would be appreciated.

so I let chess.com's computer lok at the game and it scolded me badley. haha - so many mistakes.

Your move 5. (which is compliments of Seirawan), it is for pushing the b pawn later, right?  Or does it have another/multiple purposes?

Interesting game, btw!  Thanks for posting it.

Mr. Crow is a dangerous opponent.  That's for sure!  The 6. f5 move is one of the ways that black can attack the center, so I think it might be a necessary move - eventually - if he doesnt plan to play b5 himself and go after your queen's side the same way you were going after b4.  The game looks really strong from a strategic point of view!  Glad you found the tactical problems :)  gg to both!

yes, a3 and Rb1 was for the b pawn push and to undermind his c-pawn. The issue with this is the placement of his Bishop on g7, notice that with my b-pawn pushed and my e-pawn also moved my knight is now undefended. There were discovery tactics that he could make use of at that point. I didnt see these until the computer pointed them out. something I obvously need to keep an eye out for now.
