Good planning - an exciting ('long') live game!

I just wanted to share this recent live game I've had since I thought it was kinda neat. but first-

**Special note: I've been upset with with the rating adjustment that happened after the chess.com makeover, since I just happened to dip below the 100 level mark in my rating - got dropped another 100, then got disconnected 2-3 times and suddenly my rating is in the high 1200s!!?? I haven't wanted to 'risk' too many long games on live due to the time trouble stuff and such, so I was happy to finally have a chance to boost my rating to a slightly more respectable level. lol. Anyways -  ****

On to the game:

 

(Since I was rated a lowly 1292 before this game, I was glad for the 80+ point boost! Still a long way to climb though...)

Again, your opponent could have tried to play in the center with ...f6, because you completely ignored the center once you played e5. Forward pawns backed up by one bishop does not create an attack.
