some random draw i like (kf1 is misclick)
Ya. A king and flank pawn endgame always ends in a draw. However I did notice a couple mistakes. After he moved the queen to give you a check you should've blocked it with the bishop. This would get you closer to castling and develop your bishop. You also allowed a fork on the 17th move(If your opponent played ke2+) however luckily he missed it. Those are some of the things you need to pay attention to though. Always think a step ahead and look for any potential threats your opponent can play before every move.
On the 19th move your opponent's knight was trapped and when he attacked your knight it simply would've been better if you moved the knight somewhere else and later took your opponent's knight. Remember you always want to look ahead. This also applied to that pawn push on the 22nd move. This just lost the pawn you just gained. When you want to do something like that it's as simple as counting your supporting pieces and your opponents defending pieces.
After that pawn push when your opponent took on the 24th move you had an opportunity to force your opponent's king to the corner and apply big pressure but you missed it(Rxc3+ Kb6 Rb2+ Ka8). Those were really the only mistakes you had and I think you did fine but just remember to always look ahead and not make moves too fast. I obviously don't expect anyone to play perfectly but I think you can enhance your game play by doing just that. =)

That was a really nice game. That rook sacrifice was also really nice(if pawn took then Bxe3+ would be a king and queen fork and after Qxe3 and xe3 would win material and create a passed pawn 2 moves away from queening). Tbh I probably wouldn't have found that if I played that game.

how do you really notice this? You are a 1000-1100, that's like beginner.

Nice game! I've never seen someone play the Benoni so this is my first time seeing it. I like how you also explained your moves.

1000-1100 is considered "beginner" but then again chess.com uses different rating methods and has different points of view on experience. For ex: chess.com puts beginners at 400 elo and intermediates at 800. As for how I see all that it's not like I'm looking 20 moves ahead. Those were simply moves I knew were mistakes just from a good 5 seconds of looking at them. Those few mistakes you played were moves that gave up your advantages in just 3 or less moves. I find it easier to analyze games played by lower elo players(this is not an insult sorry if you find this disrespectful) since mistakes can be more easily spotted.
Thank you. I used to avoid d4 openings, or ocassionaly play the KID, but I've been playing Benoni lately and liking it.

Np. As for myself I like playing the Dutch defense against d4 since nobody really knows what to do against it and im starting to like it as well.
Just played this one.
This is mine: I was on Chessly a few hours before this game and memorized this trap.
Also the knight taking the pawn on move 7 and the queen moves afterwards were brilliancies, according to Game Review
what is that theme bruv
Tounament +metal
Board+pieces
