I deliberately open the board up for my bishops and rooks, so they can use the diagonals, and the files.
I took some 4-5 minutes to figure out this tactical position on move 21, I found 3-4 variations (you guys can find more I'm sure), I noticed that is rook and knight are on the same colored diagonal.
When he offered to trade knight I yet again took some 3-4 minutes to think this through, and I decided to take it to an endgame with me being a piece up.
I try to see what's going on around move 15 or 16, but here, however, I decided to read the board here, on move 21.

What do you guys think of this game?
Good job winning there, you played well for your rating.
On the other hand, after move 28 Rxd8 the dust has settled and white is in a completely hopeless endgame down 2 pawns and a bishop. So nothing really "spectacular" to look at as you were against a 1 legged man in an ass-kicking contest, but a win is a win.

More like a rook, a bishop and two pawns beat a rook than just two pawns beat a rook. White was dead lost from the moment he blundered that bishop. Good job taking advantage of that, anyway.
Where are your losses?
