I'll comment only from black's perspective, and taking a quick look through. I'm not analysing in any depth, so look for yourself at other possibilities, and don't be afraid to mention my oversights and errors ! |

2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 Bc5
|
All standard and reasonable so far, remember not just the moves in an opening, their sequence too |
|
| |
|
|
5. Be3 Qf6
|
This move does not look especially bad at first glance but remembering some of the team tips here are a few pointers
- usually develop N and B before R or Q
- early Q development can leave it vulnerable
- Q is blocking f6 (stops Nf6)
- creates weaknesses like c7
- Bc8 is still blocked in
- still 2 moves required to castle

white has not exploited the vulnerable Q or the obvious weaknesses to any great extent. Now black has space and options that looked unlikely 3 moves back |
|

I really don't like this position for the Q. I would spend some time to look for better alternatives here. |

Not a bad move but a bit passive. I would have looked at a6 or 0-0 first. Consider also NxB followed by 0-0 |

13. Bf4 Nd6 14. Bxd6 cxd6 15. Nxd6+ Kf8 16. e5 Rd8 17. Na3 a6 18. Nac4 Bxc4

White's blunder should be game over really. Black now needs to think about simplifying the position and swapping off material until his extra piece is decisive. First objective take off that N on d6, second get all pieces active. |

Nc8 puts more pressure on the N(d6) and will probably win the e5 pawn too and leave Q R in control of d file. Nice and simple ! |

20. Qh5 Ng6 21. Rab1 b6

I would have looked at Nxe5 or even RxN |

Nxe5 finishs off the game |

It is even more obvious here Nxe5. Even h5 makes room for the R to come into play |
|

25. Qg3 Ke7

I don't like this. K is vulnerable now on black square |
|
| |
|
|
26. h5 Nf8
|
Now 2 pieces are locked on the back rank - but I won't mention the obvious N move Nxe5. I think this type of thoughtless move comes from playing too many games together, playing too quick, or just not giving adequate analysis time to each move. |

27. Qh4+ f6 28. f4 Rxd6 29. exd6+ Kd8 30. c4 Rg8 31. a5 Bxc4
|
Not an outright blunder this is not really improving the position. b5 looks better followed by g5 which gets the R into action |
|
| |
|
|
32. Rxb6 Qc8 33. Reb1 Nd7 34. Rb6b7 g5
|
Bb5 separates the rooks and gets that hanging B out of harm. I thought that was the logic for Bc4 in the first place |

Careless. |

36. Qxc4 Qc6 37. Rb1b2 Qxd6
|
Rxg2 gets the combined Rs off the case leaves black 2 pawns for an exchange |
|
| |
|
|
38. Rb2b1 Qg3 39. Rb7b2 Qe3+
|
Rxh4 is worth a try |
|
| |
|
|
40. Rf2 f5
|
Ne5 looks better with a threat of Nd3 or Ng4 coming |
|
| |
|
|
41. Qxa6 f4

Marching the pawn takes way too long |
