Criticisms and comments welcome. My opponent was the highest rated human player I have thus far beaten.

Just a little hint, he could've mated you on the 27. move with Ra8a3# ...

I see, I got lucky! I should have played 26. Kb1, then if 26...Ra1, 27. Kb2 Ra2 27. Kb3, black resigns

All of the stuff the others said is true. But well played anyway!

I often play games which I think are flawless, and then I go back to watch them again and there are several very obvious moves which could have been better.  And when I saw flawless I don't mean like a perfect game like a pro or something, just a game where don't make any obvious blunders or miscalculations on trades or something.  Usually there are a couple game changing moves that each player misses.

I like very much the way, you finished this game... 29. Bg1 !!!Laughing

Black played too much the queen  like    ( 4...Qh4 ??  later  Qf6 , Qg6 )  man seriously it is too much in the opening,  you should punish this ... 

I like this variations to get a better active play for white  :  7.Bg2 dxe5 ( 7...Nxf2 8.Bxf2 dxe5 9.O-O ) 8.Bxe4 exd4 9.Bxd4 Bg4 10.Bxf6 Bxd1 11.Bxb7 gxf6 ( 11...Bxc2 12.Bc3 ) 

One critism in your play I can say are ...  18. Na4 ?!     why  ... first you need to ask yourself  how to improve every pieces in your side ( better square & more active play than the opponent)  After 18...c6   what you will do  NxB  ???  it's will help your opponent to liberate his inactive piece ... one good black variation (18.Na4 c6 19.Nxb6 axb6 20.Kb2 Nd7 21.Rhe1 Nf6 22.Bf2 Ne4  I prefer black chance here)  


White should play 18. Rde1 with a play on e-file (Rde2, Rhd1 with Bf2) or other more aggressive plan 18.F5!!  sacrifice  to activate the rook on f-file & and your bishop.  (One wild interesting variation..18.f5 Qxf5 19.Rhf1 Qh5 20.g4 Qg6 21.Nxd5 ) 


Good luck in your futur games
