Feedback on My Evaluations

Hi,

Here is a game I played last year and managed to draw via repetition after dropping a pawn. I would appreciate any feedback on my evaluations and annotations. (I've already had crafty do a blunder check.)

 

Thanks!

11.b3 is unnecessary as Bxa2 loses to 12.b3 trapping the bishop.

Thanks, Shambo. Yes, that is correct, he did push the b-pawn unnecessarily. Could I have taken advantage of that mistake as black?

with c5 i'm a bit concerned with ending up with a isolated c pawn. perhaps develop the Q side N 1st then re-take with N after dxc

Thanks, Shambo, Ralph, and Paul! This feedback was very helpful. My take away is definitely the importance of the ... c5 thematic move.
