This was one of my game in a tournament against an 11 year old. Lost by time though.
A game against a high rated player
Sort:
Really nice game, at the end I quite like whites position
Qh5 makes black resign on the spot, bad luck about the time
I don't play this as white, but I play the reversed version as black against 1.c4
I think you mixed about 3 different ideas.
In the 0-0 + f3 setup, you're cementing the center and seek play mostly on the queenside, sometimes the center. At some point after they play b5 you hit with a4 and swarm around their queenside pawns.
When you play a3, you're trying to delay any queenside action, and expanding quick on the kingside with moves like f4 and g4 without delay.
So playing both a3 and f3, no matter what now, you're losing time over main lines as soon as you opt for a4 or f4 later.
The 3rd idea is the Bg5, xf6, f5 attacking stuff, which AFAIK, is played with moves like Qf3 (after f4) and 0-0-0. This is a completely different line, and again in any case you lost time in this line too because you go to Be3 and then later Bg5.

As for actual game analysis, on move 20 black can capture 3 times on e4 and then win the c2 pawn at the end of it, so you had to play 20.exd
Umm, not much else, black is just winning until he blunders a piece. 34...Nd1 is a much better discovered attack.

Ok so if i do delay the queenside action like a3 a quick burst on the kingside, not trading f5 and some simple positional moves i missed out on. Thanks for the feedback, definitely appreciate it.

you seem really stuck on the kids age. don't play the age of your opponent, or the rating for that matter, just play the board. and while your at it, pretend the little kids are actually monsters that want to eat your lunch. you can't play little kids with kid gloves or they will eat your lunch!!
