Why did he resign?
Sort:
I played white in this game. Black resigned after a lengthy postitioning battle. I don't know why he resigned. It was shaping up to be a great game. Please say why you think he resigned and if you see any good or bad moves please say so and say why. if you have any different movement schemes, then please diagram it.
One note, i just remembered the reason i didn't move 6. Nh3 was because i didn't want Bxh3, Gxh3 as this would open up a hole where i was about to castle.
Your opponent has been resigning all his games just after the opening for some reason.
another mistake in my commentary is right at the end on the last move i wrote "at this point me resigned." i meant to write that *HE* resigned.

3. Nf3 is better than the bishop. Moving the bishop slows down (and eventually prevents playing e4. Instead, you're playing e3 which is passive.
Be2 and Nc3 are in the correct spots for the King's Indian. Don't worry about it. Your bishop comes alive on the queenside which is where you're going to be pressuring (you ARE planning for that, right?)
Nbd2 is not as good as Nf3. That other knight doesn't NEED protection. If he trades the light squared bishop for your knight, you'll have a dominating bishop pair.
Nbd7 and d6 plan for e5 where you have the decision of trading d pawns or pushing past it with d5. 9. Rc1 is a good move. It prepares to take control of the open file after 1...e5 2. d5 cxd5 3. cxd5. But do you see why the knight belongs on c3, not d2, and the pawn goes on e4? to holdup that d5 pawn.
I don't like Nd4. It lets black trade off the bishop, of which you had the better. That bishop was also attacking b5, which you were worried about. you have 3 attacks on a square that's defended twice (not counting the pinned pawn). Basically, you put a knight in harm's way to replace the attacker to b5 which you allowed to be traded.

Well the only thing i can see is f pawn x e pawn winning a pawn. Then n-h5 and black has a decent but tough game down a pawn after e pawn x d pawn. Then Qxd6 im not sure if he was angry at himself for losing a pawn which could have been the case other-wise he had a fair game.
Nh5? You don't see the knight sitting there on d7, begging to be brought into the passed square?
What GreenLaser? he cant play ne4 because of the simple nxn what other move other than nh5 could the knight move?
Black's Knights are fine where they are for the moment. I don't see the advantage of Nh5. It seems to just give up control of the center and welcome an attack. Also, there is no free pawn after dxe5.

Huh? i already know that, but you said that there was a knight move did you not? You didnt answear my question.

There is no knight move.
e3 isn't so nice, blocks entry of bishop.
Check this out:
Clinton (The black) won most of his game, and then resign, or stop playing in them...
