  beenthere240: Start with move 21 as a POD? The quiet move d6 is curtains.

  saffuna: According to stockfish (only to depth 25) 24...Rb4 is the loser, creating competing passed pawns.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Black played a Rook down the entire game--the Rh8 never moved. This example of the importance of development will find its way into the textbooks. At the finish, White threatens 29.Ba6 and 30.Rc8, and not even 28...Bb7 stops this; 29.Ba6!,Bxa6; 30.a8/R. No Queen necessary.

Oct-11-21  RookFile: At some point you learn to castle before doing the fancy stuff.
Oct-13-21  paavoh: <At some point you learn to castle before doing the fancy stuff.> True, but castling was not an option at move 3 for Black :-). I consider 3.- e5 "fancy".
Oct-14-21  RookFile: It may be fancy to have a half a dozen pawn moves on the board as you hit move 10.
Oct-14-21  Everett: I play both sides of the position after 3..e5, and do not recommend 4... Bd6.

If the pawns remain stable in the center, keeping the K there and playing on the wings a la the French, is often the right way to go.
