So I would like any comments.  I would especially like to know how you would go about this endgame.  Thanks in advance.

"9. ..... dxe5 black should have taken knight with in between move" Black would have been in big trouble in that line as well. 9. ... Bxf3 10. Qxf3 dxe5 11. 0-0 and white is building an attack while black can't castle because of 11. ... 0-0 12. Bxh6 gxh6 13. Qxf6

 

On move 13, it looks like can white win a pawn with 13. Nxg5 Bxd1 14. Ne6+Kh7 15. Nxd8.

 

I don't understand at all your notes to move 22. Ba4. Why doesn't black just take your rook on f7?

 

I'm really suprised that you went on to lose this game after move 28.  You have 4 pawns for a piece. I think there must be some significant mistakes in the endgame to lose this.

oops...move 22 should have been r-f6+ and then k-g6 with the bishop move AFTER that.  Simply took it down wrong. 

 

 

Your note on move 9 would be correct if the knight was not on f6.  But, I would still much prefer whites position. 

As to the endgame I know I must have madea  mistake (but I don't have that part written down).  How would you go about winning this endgame?

holy crap you brought this one from the dead....and 9 p-h3 does not let me win a pawn.  Why don't you want me winning a pawn? 

 

 

Why do you want me doing this passive p-h3 crap :D

This is an almost equal game due to the number of pawns you had left on the board, although it is in favor of White. Black doesn't have much chances so here is how the game might of continued:
