How did I do ? I think one of my biggest mistakes was around move 15 by pushing a Pawn
How did i do ?
Sort:
I'd say you played well until you cowered at 14. Bg7. you should have done the more offensive thing and taken one of his knights. After you let his knight on g5 begin taking your pawns out, you began to fall apart.
As a word of advise, if you want people to critique you while you are black, you should rotate the board. That way, they can view the board from the player's position, the same way you saw it.
After 34. Qe2, why not ...fxe2?
pxb on move26 was worth thinking about
lots of obviously bad moves at the end - presumably there was time pressure?

Well if 14...Bxg4 15.Bxg4 <Could this not limit my Kings movements? Whites Bishop could successfully plant himself on h6 blocking my h7 pawn from making any possible moves and completely controling g7 with my king stuck from moving anywhere and whites Bishop aiming right at my Rook on f8> *Also if white could kick my Knight on h5 , With his Queen aimed right at f6 its forced mate Qf6 (King nowhere to go) and eventually Qg7# ^^And felt that my Dark Squared Bishop was pretty good and I don't think that trading it off for either Knights was that good of an Idea. But it if would have been a good trade for either of the Knights please elaborate for me , Thanks !!
Please Forgive me , It was my first time putting a board up in a forum and trust me I had a hard enough time just figuring out how to do it ! But very good advice and I will remember it :)
Raiders53: White was down to seconds left, I think we had it set up as a 20 minute game. I think my plan was 36...Qg3+ 37.Kh1 or (Kf1) 37...Qg2#
Sly_Uses: Lots of bad moves?? For me as Black or for the player playing White? If me please don't hold back I would love to hear your opinion for possible improvement on my End :)
