if i was thinking more clearly i would have played 17. Bb5 then he would probably chase my bishop Rd5.. 18. Rf5 and exchange either rooks or bishop for knight....

After the capture of the pawn at a2 every attempt to exchange the remaining pieces should have been made when opportunity allowed. The game would have been easily won from there. Connected passed pawns on one side of the board and a pawn majority against isolated pawns on the other side is an easy win. I'm one of those people who will trade to an end game if I find I have even a pawn structure advantage. I've studied the end game most and good end game play is quite different from the rest of the game. To really comment on this game is a little hard for me to do because in my oppinion both sides are so riddled with error.
trust me i would of loved to trade down but im not sure i could have, atleast before the variation i already gave after move 17. same goes with marching my pawns up the board... but any 'specific' variations before move 17 would be nice ^-^
Let's start at the beginning. After 1...Rxa2 2.Nd6 Bd5 3.Ne8, why didn't you simply play 3...Be6, putting the bishop on a protected square and protecting f7? I don't see what black can do. In the game your bishop was always a bit loose.
yea e6 was the move i missed... i think i was to caught up with the idea of attacking his f pawn.
Yes, you're already three pawns up, including two connected passed pawns. Winning another should have been the last thing on your mind :-)
Wondering if some of you guys could take a look at the end of this game and tell me specifically what i did wrong, aside from the last three moves (i played this game very late at night and couldnt think any longer).. but i think i could have won this game far earlier with my two pawn advantage.... please comment.
