I'm White in this game

I'm playing in a 4h Standard tournament, and I thought I'd post my games here and see if anyone can analyse them and see where I/my opponent went wrong

 

Thanks, will be posting more games over the weekend

First thing you could do is tell us if you were white or black.

Then you might post your own analysis so we know where you think the key points of interest are.

One thing I noticed. That pawn on c4 was hanging on move 16 and 17. Can I ask why you didn't take it?  I see 16.. dxc4 17 Bxc6 Qxc6 and the pawn is attacked twice and defended twice.

27 .. e4 was the losing move. It just drops the e pawn, as happened in the game.

Hi, thanks for the analysis. I'm white in that game.

I looked at move 16/17 and the white pawn on c4 wasn't hanging as it was defended by a knight and a queen whilst attacked by only a pawn.

Here's another game which I play white, featuring a massive blunder by my opponent but also a poor move from me before the blunder.

I play White in this game.

Any analysis is appreciated, especially on the openings and midgames which I'm slightly weak on. I know I screwed up in this game by taking the hanging b7 pawn, but any other analysis on the rest of the game would be appreciated

Thanks
