1. You won't,

2. You won't.

You're doing better than I am though, my game is a mess.

Asking someone to resign in the middle of a game is quite rude.

15.a4

16.Ra2

17.a5

Does this answer your question?

19.Rxa7

20.Bxa7+

That’s how I feel about every game.

The queen is trapped after 24...Qb4 25.Ra4

I was really surprised by how quickly you played b6. My castling move may seem harmless, but it is actually just a move to point out that black really has no good way to deal with Wc2 followed by Ra1. The best move I saw was 22...e5 when I would have started to think for a while, but at the very least I can get a pawn with 23.dxe6 Nxe6 24.Bxf6 if there is nothing better, 2 pawns, bishop pair and enemy weak king sounds better than the exchange to me.

I always felt like I had the advantage. I probably should have played b4 instead of a4 though. I missed that you could respond a4 with Qe5.

We were getting into opposite side castling game where my flank attack got neither responded by opening up the center or play on the other side.
