11.Nxe5 if dxe5 then Qxh5 and you are a piece up. 14.Ne4? you had Bxf5! your opponent cannot just gxf5 because Qxh5+ and when something like Ke8 Qxg5 and yu have a won game right there.also 33.a3? is met with Nxb3. You had the chance to win this game, remember it. Keep up the good games, and try to spot the best lines! If you find a good line, try to spot a better one! Often overpressuring pieces is the key for most tactics.
Basically after move 14 it just was a complete downfall for you.

Wow, it's amazing how I can look back and see those moves so clearly now. I understand each point you made. That failure to see 14.Bxf5! really hurt. Like you said it was pretty much downhill from there.
Thanks for the comments,

My analysis for how white could have improved his game:
Move 3: d5, I think is not accurate, had you taken on c4 you would be forcing him to bring his queen out early or go down a pawn, in general it is a good idea to force a person to bring out the queen early it gives you something to harass, and gain tempo but I supose you could still play d5
Move 9 e4, you were trying to stop him from playing e4 himself forking your knight and bishop, this was un necisary and made your white bishop very weak also it also makes d4 very strong for black if he is to ever manuever pieces to get there something like Na4 seems better here
Move 11 Nxe5, I actually like this move good job
Move 12 Nxf7 well... its agressive but not sure if u got good enough compensation I probably would have swung that knight back to g4 and just played up a pawn, Nxf7 left u down in material when u could have been up
Move 14 Ne4 this is a horrible blunder if you trade bishops here the the g6 pawn is over worked, it can guard the bishop or the knight not both you would gain a piece by trading here giving yourself a 2 pawn advantage
Move 16 d6 nothing good coming from this, you just handing him a free pawn when he is already up in material, you hung your passed pawn for no apparent reason
Basically you need more practice you should have won this game not lost it, he made enough mistakes for you to win.
That makes sense as to why I moved that pawn up, but you are right, much better to move the pieces or threaten the queen than clog up the diagonal. Good example of my need to continue improving my positional awareness rather than just eliminating/avoiding potential threats.
Hey everyone, this is my first game that I'm posting for analysis. I did not use the computer analysis on this game yet, just like the sticky suggested. I went through and annotated the best I could remember or try and guess what my thought process was. If anybody is feeling generous enough to walk me through the game that would be superb but even if I get one comment on one move that will be more than I have now. Any constructive criticism at all is great. I'm doing this to learn my games and get better but I'm still a noob on "how" to properly analyze my games. I can see a lot of bad moves here, so I guess that is the first step. (On a side note, does anyone know how to get the text out of centered mode, I don't have the usual toolbar?)
