Miniature Against the English

This was a fun game I recently played against the English in which I managed to quickly establish a devastating outpost that immediately undermined my opponent's position.  Any comments or constructive criticism are welcome:

Nice.

From white's perspective, bad things seem to happen whenever black is allowed to play dxc4.

very nice combination, but what if 11f3 move was 11h3?

I agree with Alekhine II. 4e3 was a positional blunder. The pawn should be left on e2, both in the English, and with the colors reversed, the dragon.  Highly instructive game as to what happens if one does not do so. Thank you.
