it was move 10. Ne5 that i really came up with my plan of attack. your d pawn was locked in so i was expecting 10. Ne1 attacking my undefended pawn.
I liked the a7 to g1 diagonal that my queen controlled and i knew that although Ne1 would've attacked my pawn on d3 it wouldve allowed for quicker developement and i still wouldve been up.
I assumed the following..
10. Ne1 Bd7 11. Nxd3 Bd6
trying to prevent 12. Ne5 because then if you play Ne5 after 12....Nxe5 13. fxe5 0-0-0 d 14. d4! your pawns are strong and centralized. my bishops pretty much have no where to go. my queen is now out of position for a kingside attack which is what i was wanting to do, hence the queenside castle allowing me to push my kingside pawns and possibly double my rooks...still, would've had to work hard to get more pieces in on the attack with your control of the center and by then you could set up an attack of your own.
HOWEVER, like i said in our in game chat, i went over some of your games and was trying to avoid the kings gambit and your quick attacking play. i think instead of playing to your style 100% you would've gained from studying the board a little bit more thoroughly and playing according to the position.
that's just what i saw during the game...ive never been much of a self analyzer in my 2 years of playing so i dont know if there was anything more besides the obvious blunder.
