To start off, I'd like to say that this is a game which I won, but I only did so based on time, and in the final position I was definitely worse. He made a few minor mistakes toward the end (no doubt under time pressure), which allowed me some drawing chances (I think). Anyway, any analysis and suggestions would be appreciated. I have given a perfunctory annotation.

Hi there! On move 8 after Ndb5, I think Ne5 was good as he cannot take on d6 because you can do Bxd6 Qx and Nxc4

this move Ne5 forces him to retreat and it gives you eqwual chances to win! PLaying a6 is good but you left d6 undefended so he is up a pawn
