A game of traps and blunders

Hey guys,

This is my first OTB game, and I never expected it to be so exciting! I've been playing blitz for years now. Anyway, I tried the Danish out, with reservations, but it provided a very cool game (for my rating). There were some interesting traps by both players, and a quite a few blunders. But I'm very curious about the end-game possibilities. Are three pawns on the f-h file against a knight a winnable game? I blundered before I could try it out, but I would love your input!

That was a messy game... very complicated.

Anyway, as to the final position, you had a won game:  47 H5! and your pawn marches.  Black quickly runs out of play.  Here are the lines.

The Danish is a lot of fun to play if you know it well.  Here is a fun game of mine with the Danish.

Indeed it is. I love especially pulling the fried liver as you did. Once he hangs his bishop (as many players do without seeing the threat), you take f7, get your pawn back, exchange bishops, and prevent his castle.
