hello everyone this was a game i played in a tournament in this game i was aware of when my opponent was dominating the kingside and when i created counterplay in the queenside the game looked even then all of a sudden my dsb becomes useless and its a 2 on one piece situation and im still wondering how the game changed to my misfortune so poiters from the public would be nice
11...Ne5 is a bad move because it threatens nothing and allows white to play f4 with gain of tempo, which allowed your opponent to dominate the kingside.
19... Qb7 is where your kingside started to fall apart, because it allows white to play moves like g5 and eventually f6 and take over the kingside and shut down your dark squared bishop.
19...Qd8 is a better move because the queen now controls dark squares on the kingside and prevents white from taking over the kingside. For example, if 19... Qd8 20. g5, black has 20...f6 and has counterplay against white's kingside pawns.
24... Qc7 allows Rc1, so it is not productive, and it was the move that allowed white to shut down your dark squared bishop with f6. 24...f6 was probably necessary in order to give your dark squared bishop room to move.

Yeah, after 26 f6 you're effectively a piece down.
