This is my first game analysis posted to this forum. I have not used an engine to check or supplement this analysis.
Summary: White castled long into what could have been a lot of piece pressure from me, but I couldn't get my pieces organized well enough to do much. I eventually traded into an endgame with what I perceived to be a small but exploitable advantage: the ability to create an outside passed pawn on the queen side. That's the way it played out, although the margin of victory was narrow. If you see places where I could have played more assertively, I'd love to hear about it.

Good game. Not much to analyse, really - no glaring errors as far as I could see, except for your h5-bishop and f6-knight being out of the action for most of the game.

The game is won at move 45 I think: you remove his b-file-pawn, then push your b-file passer, and while he's stopping that your king strolls over to the kingside and has his way with the rest of White's pawns. Nothing he could do.

I think you should be helping with analysis rather than asking for analysis.
