I recently played this game. I think I blundered too many pawns which resulted in my loss. I lost on time but I would have lost anyways. Where would I have done better?
Thanks!

I believe that going into the exchange (12... Nc6) was a large fault in your pawn disadvantage. Although it seems equal, when coming out of the exchange, either the c or h pawn would be lost, and your a pawn became isolated and hard to protect or make use of.

The exchange essentially lost you (maybe a little more than) two pawns. Better move may have been (12... a6) kicking the knight away.

I also felt that your opening play was perhaps slow? By move 8 you can see that white employed both knights, their bishop, and queen while you have only your knight, bishop, and single pawn mobilized. tubebender

I feel quite unqualified to say much, really. Just pokin' around the forums for the first time. I will revisit that opening, tubebender.
