Thanks for the game, obviously my 13.Nbd2 was just a mistake, though I think I messed up slightly somehow before that because supposedly playing ...Bxa6 before ...g6 is an inaccurate move order because a set up where white plays b3/Bb2 is meant to be good for white.
My first insticnt was to play 15.Nxd2 but then I realised that it was more useful to have my queen on the dark squares and try to attack your king well it didn't have the DSB around. Even so I think blacks position was prefferable at that point. I can understand 17...e6 but I think it opens your kings position a little bit, maybe its still alright though, you get certain other benifits by playing ...e6

And ofcourse 21...Qd8 was just a one move blunder

Anyway thanks again for the game

I think 12.Qc2 would have been better than 12.Qd3, as the b2 bishop looked rather loose. Nbd2 would have been fine with the queen on c2. Maybe I should have played Nd7 at some point and brought my knight to the kingside.
