A recent game, first defeat for me in a while. I seemed to be ok until the midgame (I'm black), where either some poor choices by me, coupled with excellent moves (imo at least!) by white saw me resign shortly after.

Anyone care to point out which were my weakest moves?

like you said you overlooked the move e5 which is very common in these positions.

Also on move 20 i don't see what is wrong with BxC6

Looking through again, on move 15 i would probably have started to move the f knight on to c7 in 2 or 3 moves, and left the other knight where it was. Other than that, I was just beaten by a better player I guess.
