    Surprising material advantage without (seemingly) positional dis-advantage....
    F' around for a bunch of moves till I get crushed by a clearly better player......
    ........😳.......check :'(



    so I know my final mistake and I think gxf3(where ever the heck it was played) might have been a bad idea...but short of that what should I have done?

    What should you have done? Not played gxf3. That move was wrong on so many levels. It weakened your King position and made his Nf5 into a beast [cannot be kicked away with g4].

    You won the exchange, but your two Rooks lay dormant for the whole game. You needed to get them into the fray somehow [trade pawns on Q-side to open files there, for example].

    My first thought would be to push forward the queenside pawn majority!
