How did you win? The final position looks like a draw to me.

On 6. Bb3, I think Bd3 is better since the bishop is more centralized and can't be trapped easily.

16. Qh3 was a horrible blunder because he might have took your bishop but luckily, he didn't see it.

In fact it was 15. Qxf3 that was the blunder. Unfortunately, he should have played the weakening move gxf3.

I am assuming you won on time?

I really don't like your 20.e5?

"Releases the Kraken" (black's knight) by giving black the d5 and f5 squares. Locks the position when your bishop pair want things open. Secures d6 and f6, but your don't have a knight to exploit that.

I like Rad1 better. When you have then center, sometimes its a good idea to just reinforce, and sit on the position.

37.Rf3 was a mistake. Black shoulda played 37....Qxd4 immediatly.

Better was 37.Qe3 followed by Rf3, like your piling up on the b-pawn, then Rh3! Threatening Qh6+

Bait-and-switch. One advantage of controlling most space.

For the the move 16.Qh3, if he took the bishop (16..Nxc3) then 17.Qh7 is mate. I won the game on time with a minute to spare.

Thank you for any feedback.

45.Kh3?? was a howler!! 45.Qf2 was VITAL there. You are lucky black failed to capitalize.46....Qc2, or 47....e5 was lights out.

It is almost impossible for a lone queen by herself to stop a passed pawn + queen. Best she can do is tart checking, hope for a perp. Which you did.

Black also has a clever win with 48....Qf3+! 49.Kh4 g5+!! 50.fxg5 d1Q! ( f7 is protected now!)
