I think you're being particularly harsh on the lads there. I messed up my move order early and played e6 rather than c6. Up until move 18 its level and I have a slight edge. Castling was the issue, it allowed my to push e5 and then capture d4 giving me a monster passed pawn. I'm not sure if castling queenside? or even playing the likes of f4 before (to stop e5) then castling would be more effective? I enjoyed that game but felt I was behind early because of my clumsy move order.
Good game.
