Sort:

im black

pawn structure is closed (i think)

and i thought there is no weakness in white position

is 15...Nd5 bad move? because allow Nc5 if exchange he can get double rook easily that makes me confusing. so tried king move for do something. lastly i have time trouble lose.

The pawn structure was open. The c and d files were wide open.

You were holding the game until you left d6 uncovered for the fork. Why not just 27..Rd7?

I play the same opening...sortof...but I would suggest some minor refinements in the opening. FOr one thing...I think it is a bit better to develop your queenside knight to d7...because Nb6 eyeing c4 and a4..and it doesn't block your bishop. Also, you don't need to spend a move to trade queens. Let white do that. YOur king winds up in the center anyway, no need to 0-0.

 

but okay...you didn't do that stuff and your position wasn't so bad anyway. Its hard to find a useful active plan for either side. Usually what you look out for as black in similar positions is white playing a4...but I don't see that doing much in this position. At move 15, I would probably just play Kf8. Because centralizing the king is some sort of progress...and you aren't committing anything. I'm not a huge fan of nd5 because I would like to have Nd7 to cover c5.

22...kg6 was very mysterious to me but it does look hard to find a move there. you got pretty badly pinned up.

on move 26, it was clear that white didn't know what to do, so why not repeat the position and play Kg6?
