August wasn't the most conservative player lol. He was more than willing to exchange pieces of equal value. I think that paid off for you.
This game had some pretty interesting stuff going for it (especially the strong position of your bishops around move 16). You did well to snatch up hanging pieces, and to trade when you're up material. From here I'd say just to keep paying attention to your own loose pieces, and not to check for the sake of checking, but rather build a trap and then deliver mate :)

Thanks for the advice, and a coaching lesson sounds great... thanks!
I Hope you enjoyed the match and thank you for reading :)
I did a computer analysis of this match and it scored me as equivalent to 2000 so I'm pretty happy about it. This was my best game of chess ever played by far.
