Game 3628888
Absolutely no idea why I lost that one. Any ideas?
In your game, you may have had a material advantage, but 3 of 4 pieces did nothing for the rest of the game.
Your B was not easily going to get activity on the c1-h6 diagonal due to the unfortunate e3,f4 pawns.
I would have opted for b3 to activate the B from the other diagonal. Leave the N in defence of holes for the time being. Then castle to connect the Rooks. And ultimately prepare a K-side offensive (g4 has already been advised).
Another idea would be to look for an opportunity to liquidate the centre pawns. This would weaken your opponent's Knight pair, which just love all the blocked lines.
