http://en.lichess.org/VYaDbDFXcKvaIt feels like I had a bit of an attack in this game but couldn't quite make anything of it. I had some good piece activity so maybe there should be something?
meh, this position is too hard for me
it seemed to me that you played pretty well but you were just lost at one point :) , dont know why
still 16...Rd8 feels a bit too optimistic, maybe you can target f7 somehow
Maybe 17 Nf3 is a move (with the idea Bh6 Ng5) although bringing the rook to c1 with tempo cant be bad tbh
I'm inclined to agree with the above suggested 17 Nf3 as an improvement, but Black still looks pretty solid after, like, ...Nd7 and ...Bf8. Bleh.
You did have an attacking plan but black had a very solid defence, which you wanted to break... but this only leaded to traiding your pieces and when you are a pawn down it is not enough
Well 25. Qf4 requires them to make some accurate only-moves, might have been more pressing.
Computer also shows 20. Bg5, interesting in that it shows the power of trading off the opponent's defending piece(s) around their king, if you still have attacking pieces left. It gives you a number of drawing lines to say the least.
Overall it seems to me you're leaving your centre too weak while going after kingside attack. They are able to follow the general advice to a T, counterplay in the centre to defeat a wing attack.
I would prefer to bolster my center / development more, before playing 11. e5
I felt the king was too vulnerable to back rank mate with the open c & d files. launching an attack in that scenario feels like an over extended position. also, can't understand why black is not taking your horse with 17... Rxd4
I think 11. e5 is premature. I would have played Bd3 first. Although Nc5 still would stopped the Bishop's use as an attacking weapon. Losing this excellent attacking piece is IMHO the reason for the attack no succeeding.
On move 20, moving the Rook off the first rank seems suspect. I like 20. Nf6+ Bf6 21. ef6 g6. The dark squares look real weak. Once you stop the mate on g2, it seems you have all the time you need to break through. Even if Black stops the attack by Qf5, you get control over the c file, most likely both Rooks on the seventh, and winning the f7 Pawn, due to the Bishop controlling f8. I think Black has to defend accurately to avoid getting mated.
Now I am 200 points lower than me and I probably spent only a tenth of the time that you did, so my ideas are probably not the best, and I would like others to comment.
Typo: "I am 200 points lower than you" not "I am 200 points lower than me."
it is pretty hard to be 200 points lower than yourself
maybe if one starts palying against themself and loses its doable
Ps: i had the same feeling about the bishop at d3 dissapearance ,but maybe a more talented attacking player than me wouldnt mind this exchange that much
overall I think 11. e5 was a very good try, I mean black can even take the pawn, its not obvious what white has but he loses if he does, and if he doesnt, well , white gets an attack
