I would be extremely grateful on anybodies comments on my loss in this game. I went from a Bishop up and i thought playing well to losing quite convincingly.

You got it yourself - Bc4 hangs the bishop and white can win it by force.  I guess the thing to do is just get your position safe and then trade to a won endgame of B+K v K.

12. ... 0-0. How about 12. ... Qf6 threatenign the pawn on d4, then castle queenside. Evidently your king doesn't find shelter on the kingside in this game. But if your opponent castles kingside and your king is tucked away on the queenside, you're ready to play h6, g5 and g4 (hey, taking advantage of the weakness created by 5. h3 Smile )

 

"19. Qb4 this gives me Bxf4 and now im a piece up." What do you think white could have played here that didn't leave you a piece up? (I think you won the piece when white plays 18. Nxe6.)
