Analyze my game

Sort:

Hello,

I started playing during lockdown, but only did some puzzles because I work and study and have 2 young kids. Now its getting a little less busy so I want to play some rapid games and see if I can break 1400 elo.

Can you help me analyze my games so I know what to improve?

The last game i was a little lost in the midgame after he played f5. I wanted to push on the kingside but could not find a plan so I chose to play down the middle on his backward pawn. That didnt go as planned but I found a solution to make him have doubled rookpawns after a queentrade. I saw that he would get the open file but saw that i can take it back later as long as I could get my King to guard the e2 square. So i shuffled it to d1 after playing c3 to block his Bishop from taking on b2.

In the end I thought i had a winning endgame but panicked after he played a5. My plan was to play g3 and f4 so I could push my passed pawn on the f-file, but completely panicked and agreed to a draw. Something i regret. 
What do you think about this game and what should I remember to improve?

To analyze your game, start by reviewing key moments, such as your opening, middle game, and endgame. Look for mistakes, missed opportunities, or weak moves that gave your opponent an advantage. Identify any patterns in your play, like frequent blunders or weaknesses in a specific area. Consider the moves you struggled with and why. Analyzing your game helps improve decision-making and strategy, allowing you to avoid similar mistakes in future games and strengthen your overall gameplay.
