not a bad end position xD
some thoughts: dont' give up bishops so easily - unless it strengthens your center, bishops are awesome in endgames.
13. ... Qd7 allows 14. Nxe5! so 13... dxe4 was best.
not bad though. keep playing otb!

As I'm sure you have reflected, the game is a lot more difficult and fraught/exciting OTB than sat in the comfort of your lounge with all the modern trappings i.e. books/articles/database etc.
When's your next outing?
This was my first ever OTB tournament game, enjoy!
