game number 1329917. I will try to do it right after I figure out
how again. BTW on move 38 I hallucinated the rook covering the
d pawn which is why I checked at d2. boner.
Game 1329917
Well I went over the first variation, I found an error in crafty's
analysis: move 22 Bf4, it says I should go Nb5. I would never go
Nb5 because of the bishop take which kills my pawn structure, as
if I need my pawn structure broken on BOTH sides!.
If I had to move the knight, and that seems a reasonable enough
decision, I would go to E6 or E8. E8 doesn't block the C bishop
and puts a protection on g7 so thats what I would have done there.
After Nb5, white could go Q-B3, attacking my now weakened d5 pawn,
something like that, start an attack on the d pawn maybe followed
by N-f1-Ne3 which doubles the attack on the d pawn.
Looking at the opening moves, it seems my 18 Q-d1 f4 was a bad
idea, that seems to be the crux of where my position started
deteriorating. Is this opening a book one, if so how deep does it
stay book? Thanks again.
Don't like that stuff either, so N-b5 is definitely a boner.
Crafty? innacurate? Very possibly. Maybe it doesn't care for it's pawn structure as much as you.
With the opening. It appears to have left book after your move 4.

I didn't look at the whole game, but I think what black should have been looking to play at some point was f4, and I think when White's knight was on f4, I would have kicked it with g5, then played f4 at some point, not trade it off with ..Nh5.

think it would be bad for black to get his pawn structure
permenently damaged, In only a few moves, white can attack the
back pawn and double the attack, it looks like I would be stuck
trying to save a backwards pawn. It just seems to restrict my options.
So I thought going to E8 with the knight would help defensively and
keep my pawn structure more or less intact. At least I would not be
stuck trying to defend a backwards pawn.
