This game is another example of how to lose a winning game..what i learnt from this game is to analyse every single move deeply..cuz one bad move destroy 40 good moves.

I'm not quite a grand master, and ofcourse I could have missed just like you did easily, some moves were very tricky (I'm still making horible mistakes even now).
well back to the game:
1-flawless opening
2- I usually prefer fischer way placing Knight on the golden square d5, but bishop is not bad at all, no sir, not at all...
3- Move 9 is a mistake from my point of view, I tempt not to play with casteling pawns as much as possible, instead, and to free the road to f pawn, I'd played Kh1
4- I can understand move 11, as your goal is bishop d5, but again, your knight is on d5 indeed, and black is not trying to shake it, so, why not staying cool?
5- move 14 is a blunder, but I think you wanted to advance h pawn next
6- move 15? why retreat of Bishop from the golden square
7- 16-Bd2? better e3, assume control of the central black squares
move 23 is a good illustartion why the king is occasionly parked on h1
forget everything I said, move 31 is a blunder.... analyse that!
