Crushed Queenside in the King's Gambit

Here is a game that I played recently on this site, which I am quite proud of.  I am only a 1600, so it probably has some inacuracies, but I felt that I played well.  There are some interesting tactical moments in the game, at any rate.

Well played.

 

You covered quite a lot of variations with good commentary.

 

However, also very interesting would be 27. e7

 yeah, that probably would have been a better move, since it forces black to hang his knight, which is playing a much more important role in his defense at the moment than the bishop, or else loose the rook, which is also playing a key defensive role.  27. e7 probably leads to mate a few moves earlier.  This is a case of "When you see a good move, look for a better one".  Thanks for the comment.

 quick attacking, as in yesterday's game, that speaks to your personality, if you control the enthusiasm of the attack, you'll develop much your potential. Great Job :).

I like it. Black may as well resign after 23. Bxc7! since there is no way of saving his queen eg. 23... Qa6 24. Nxa7+ Qxa7 (forced) 25. Bb6+ wins the queen.

Also 17... f6? is pretty bad, completely shutting off his dark B and opening up the devastating 18. e6! All your pieces are in sync and putting pressure on black, while his pieces are either redundant or shutting off his king's escape routes.
