My annotated game

Your notes are quite accurate I feel. A shame you lost because you put yourself in a winning position. Too passive in certain positions, a bit cautious. And of course you should have taken care of that passed b pawn which promoted. Pawns close to promotion are exceptionally dangerous and there are often tricks and tactics around them. Try not to allow passed pawns, and if you do, try to restrict them from advancing as early as possible. Work on your tactics - as you say in the notes there were several 2-3 move sequences which you didn't go for which would have been good for you 👍

• I can’t take credit for annotating the game I asked for some help. It’s been about 3 weeks of playing with already knowing how the pieces move and knowing to go after the center. I’ll be working on my foundation and tactics because when the game gets passed a few moves I try to control the center and hope for the best instead of having a goal strategically or knowing when to take or seeing a tactic. Thanks for the input guys I know I have a lot of room for improvement playing about 100 games or so

5. … dxe4 6. Ng5 isn't all that good for Black. It's roughly equal, in fact.

There are several reasons to annotate our own games, particularly those we lost because we try to isolate the source of our mistakes to not to repeat them.

In your case, you're not paying attention to the threats. That's like playing baseball and not caring for where the ball is or where it's traveling to.
