Why does it just have a graphic of my game, and not the game itself?
Edit: Works now.

When you are ahead by a piece you want to exchange pieces to leave your opponent nothing to work with. You had a great opportunity for 28... QxQ leaving your tutor with nothing but a Knight versus Rook + Bishop. You would have won easily.
I know Clavius, I know. :(
when you won that rook you should have exchanged queens, so he wont have counter play and enshouring your win.
What do you all think of the game in general up to that point? I've only been learning since Jan/Feb.
I suppose I learnt valuable lesson in the virtues of material exchange.
That is really frustrating.

Generally I only really lose games when I am focusing to much on the offensive and forget about the defence.
You have suffered a painful loss but this loss will make you much much stronger.
All the previous respondents are absolutely correct.
Basically this was the best game I ever played, I've beaten this friend of mine [who's teaching me chess] once before but that seemed like a fluke really. I was genuinely beating him this time on my own terms [Or rather I was not losing terribly] and managed to ruin it for myself at the end. I'm full of rage.
