Hello everyone, I'd like someone to critique on this 15|0 game I played earlier. There was a blunder at the very very end, but however it doesn't matter, because I am interested in the holes you can spot in my middlegame. The game could of been won by the opponent but he didn't see it and settled for the draw. I hope you guys give some feedback. Also a side note, I have 2 weeks to prepare for NZ Nationals (U15) so hopefully I will post several more games and tell me about all the things I should work on.

 

 
I understand that this probably wasn't the best game to post but I have been quite inactive on chess.com for about a month because I decided on a break. This was my first game played back so there is a wee bit of rust on it.

5. ... d6 is very wrong, dooming your dark squared bishop to being a pawn.  Bc5 or d5 are better.  With the open f-file, you need the dark squared bishop to generate pressure on f2.  15.  ...bb4 - does this trade even help and is worth the time?  Bc5 lines up pressure on the f2 pawn and limits the options for white's bishop.  21.  ...rdf8 - why cant just take the free epawn?  Seems like you are just down a clean pawn if he takes it.  All I have time for, sorry.
