The key moment for me in this game was move 13 - it's obvious I guess but I'm developing the skill to ignore threats if there's something I can do that forces the opponent to act on that instead. In all honesty the bishop was not set up that way deliberately but I'm learning to scan the board constantly
Lesson: a fundamental one I guess - you don't have to immediately react to your opponents threat if you can do something that forces their reaction
