Improving my pieces and winning with tactics.

I think I did good improving my pieces until he finally cracked, blundering a piece and missing a tactic.

I know I made some mistakes too though thankfully, they weren't too critical.
Hello !! Gooe game . Just a question. In lichess when I finish a game, how can I copy the PGN ?
@greekindian Do you want to post your game in forums? If so you can just copy and paste the link of the game. But if you want the PGN after finishing the game then go to Analysis Board and you will see four buttons underneath : "Computer Analysis", "Move times", "Crosstable" and "Fen and Pgn. " Click on Fen and Pgn and you can copy the PGN from there
White played well the first part til 19. Qc2 after which White is clearly better. Then things become less simple. Improving the pieces means doing something for the Be3 and the Nf4 which are now obviously misplaced, but it is not so easy to put them on the right squares (somewhere on the long diagonal for the Be3 and maybe f5 for the Nf4, or perhaps Nd3-e5, or even Nh5 to trade one defender) without allowing some counterplay. Black could have tried Rxe3 at some point.
@Nerwal Even though you are higher rated than me, I can safely say that Nf4 is NOT misplaced. The Knight on f4 defends d5 square from falling into Black's control with Rd8 and Nd5 . As for the Bishop, yes it was misplaced on e3 but I moved it to d4 putting pressure on the f6 Knight. As for Re3 that won't really achieve anything. And I can't really find a better square for my Knight for which I will have to maneouvre without giving Black counterplay.
Improving my pieces .... That's what good players say to do when there doesn't seem to be anything to do. You did it an it paid off. Good Job!

Also- I think Capablanca said: "help your pieces so they can help you"
Oh so this was a show-off post, I am sorry I disturbed with some chess.
