Usually when you have the more active pieces, you don't want to lock up the center. Rather you want it to explode open so that you can overwhelm your opponents position.

12...Qd7?? was a big mistake but you failed to capitalize with Nb6 winning the exchange.

as you noted, 15. b4???, Nxf6+ would have won you the game

19. Ng5 was unnecessary. You should know that a rook is worth 5 points while a knight is worth 3. Your opponent wouldn't (shouldn't) initiate that trade, if he did it would only benefit you. Better would have been protecting your weak b-pawn or maybe Rxd6.

after 19...Rf6 you could still capture the pawn since you would take his rook back after Nf7+

Nice mate to finish the game. You completely dominated your opponent who never had any advantage in this game.

THX for commenting.

Yes, i know the point system. I would've know that i would've still win even i have doubled pawns due to material advance.

Plz comment. I want to take a hint in this game.

I don't know if you are only looking for constructive critisism, but 25.Nf7!# was a very nice move.

Ok, in my opinion, most of the mistakes on your part were at the opening (like 5.Bg5.) but you seem to know that anyway.

I think that instead of 3.Nc3, you should have played b3 so you could get your dark squared bishop out and put pressure on blacks pawn chain.

14.Qc4 was not terrible, as you later showed when black blundered and you picked up a rook. But be careful when you play moves like this. They rely mostly on the idea that your opponent is going to mess up.

That is my advice, but I'm not to good at chess (although I think I am getting better) so be careful about using my suggestions.

I love any game where a smothered mate can be executed.

I must still say about #2 post:

["Usually when you have the more active pieces, you don't want to lock up the center. Rather you want it to explode open so that you can overwhelm your opponents position."]

But his knights couldn't activate...

Closed game is better for knights, opens for bishops. That's why i wanted to lock-down the center...
