Game 2327447 My opponent was much better
Guess just one for now.

I'll give it a go.Do note the following are just my ideas,nothing was checked with an engine so tactical mistakes and oversights are to be expected.

1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Ng8f6
3. Nb1c3 (I think best is 3.d4,Nxd5 4.c4 when White has control over the center and nice open lines for his pieces.But Nc3 is not wrong) Nf6xd5
4. Ng1e2(this I don't like.Better is 4.Bc4 and if Nxc3 5.Qf3! (threatening mate in 2 if the knight flees 5..,Na4 6.Bxf7+,Kd7 7.Qd5 mate) 5...,e6 6.Qxc3 regaining the knight without disrupting White's pawnstructure) Nb8c6 5. Nc3xd5 Qd8xd5 6. Ne2c3 Qd5a5
7. Bf1b5(I don't like this move.I'd prefer Bc4 maybe followed by castling and d3) Bc8d7
8. a4(That's just a waste of time imo.I prefer d3 or 0-0) a6 9. Bb5c4 Qa5e5 10. Qd1e2 Qe5xe2 11. Nc3xe2 Nc6b4
12. Bc4b3(I think the odd looking Kd1 is forced here: 12.Kd1,Bc6 13.f3,e6 14.d3,Bc5 15.c3,Nd5 16.b4,Ne3+ 17.Bxe3,Bxe3 18.Kc2 and white is ok) c5
13. O-O(Kd1 is definately forced now) Bd7e6 14. Bb3xe6 Nb4xc2 15. Be6xf7 Ke8xf7 16. Ra1b1 Ra8d8
17. f4(I don't get this one at all.Something like b3-Rd1-Bb2 or Nc3-Ne4 when the knight takes an excellent position was called for) e6
18. d3(drops a pawn an still doesn't help your development) Rd8xd3
19. f5(hands Black a passed pawn but you're hard pressed for good moves here and at least now your bishop gets out.So maybe it was the lesser evil) e5 20. Bc1g5 h6 21. Bg5h4 Bf8d6
22. f6(Looks like something desperate I would try 😉 I suppose Nc3->Ne4 was better here but White is fighting a lost battle) g5 23. Bh4g3 Nc2e3
24. Ne2c1(the final mistake I guess.The resulting trades only help Black.Then again,it's hard to find decent moves here) Ne3xf1 25. Nc1xd3 Nf1xg3 26. hxg3 e4 27. Nd3f2 Rh8e8 28. Rb1d1 Bd6xg3 29. Nf2g4 h5 30. Ng4e3 Kf7xf6 31. b3 Kf6e6 0-1
