My masterpiece with the Slav Defense

I believe that you can do it better! :)
In the opening you did right things such as strong pawn on f5, 8...b6 and others. He made some mistakes. I think the biggest one was 17. f4 because that completely open his king.
Instead of the blunder 20...e2 it was better to use benefits of the diagonal a1-h8 and play Qd4 or Bd4.
22...Nxc1 was big strategy mistake. Trading of a good Knight for a weak Bishop is not an option when you start an attack.
I will not tell you anything about 27...Kf8.
After all, you beat player better rated than you, so congratulations!
Yes, thats not a masterpiece. You managed to transform a won position (15.fxe4 -+) into a lost one (32. Qe8+ +-).
It is a masterpiece considering your rating :) Well done. Still: You have 6 blunders in your game. Go through them and learn why those moves were blunders.
There's always a choice. You can admit your mistakes and try to learn from them. Or you can try to deny them and stay in ignorance in order to inflate your own ego. Each and every one of us has the right to make this decision for ourselves. I personally know what's right for me, but don't care how anyone else will choose to approach this topic. Many blessings ;)
