I don't know what I've done wrong. suddenly the game was lost!!!Game 10190670
The final blunder was 27.Nfd4?? overlooking the hanging B on d3. White should consider Rad1 or Qd4 instead.

Originally posted by robbebopI wouldn't have castled Q side when the black a and b pawns were already on their way. The game became an opposing side pawn rush, but your opponent had a two move head start.

This was made worse by the knight and bishop on c3 and d3 which make juicy targets for a pawn to be able to advance with tempo.
Originally posted by aquatabbyI agree that castling queenside doesn't look too good in that position. I would have developed the knight and castle kingside.

Also the retreat of the Queen from h6 where it was preventing kingside castling for Black was not called for at that point. You should have looked for a way to bring pieces and pawns up to attack the kingside in my opinion. I don't know if it would work or not, but if I had gotten into that position, I would have looked hard before just retreating the Queen.
The Instructor
White had to generate counter-play on the Kingside. The move h4 must always be
followed up with h5 regardless of what is happening on the Queenside or the centre.
You must open that h-file.
White is close to the "I hope he botches his attack phase." and will be
relying on his opponent seeing ghost.
The hit on the d-pawn should have been ignored and h5 played to get things
going on the Kingside.
Always remember weaker player find it easier to attack than defend.
They tend to spot combo's for them but fail to see combo's against them.
Perfect case in point.

You will see me miss things but opponent misses my last combo.
Also notice the influence of the books and games I had seen at that time.
