Saying or commenting about the game as part of analysis, make a note abt. what is fascinating overall.

Why did I moved 3.* Bg7 4. g4 a5 ...

Answer 1

Putting all your pawns on one type of square color is usually not a good idea. For instance black could have played 4 .. Qh4+. Also with all the pawns on light squares the bishop on g7 gets incredibly strong.

Generally too many pawn moves in the opening from both sides. Should have developed pieces.

Few bad moves:

• 6. b3?? blunders the rook which black should take already here
• 8. .. Rxa3? I would not exchange this very powerful bishop for the knight on a3. Better to retreat the bishop to g7.
• Not sure why black insists putting the rook on a3 in moves 11 and 13. Not much to attack there and the rook could always easily be attacked.Nothing wrong with retreating to a8 for the time being. The main duty of the rook is to occupy the open a file which it does equally well from a8.
