I WON BY AN OPPONENT MISTAKE

This game has just finished my opponent lost a piece then resigned.
I played so badly in the opening i struggled into the middlegame in a cramped position.

My bishops were cramped and did not get into the game properly untill move 24.
I think 25.d5 was the move that changed the game.

JUST FINISHED THIS GAME

This is a game i have just finished on chess.com.

I am white in this game.

I had a knight well placed on f6 went on the attack,but at move 27 Rg3 i ran out of steam.
I ended up swopping queens and it drifted towards a draw.
I like to think i had the draw in hand.

Help please.

TODAYS CHESS.COM GAME

Today i played an online game at chess.com against a 1710 player,my rating after 1 game on chess.com was 1450.Chess.com start you off on a 1200 rating.
After this game it is now 1701.
In 2 games my rating has gone from 1200 to 1450 to 1701,if only i could make my bank balance jump that quickly!!!
When i lose a couple of games i expect my rating will drop as quick as it rose.
I am black in this game.
chessx is not my chess.com name.






25.Nxd6 was the mistake by White it allows the pin on knight/queen.

ANOTHER QUICK PLAY OTB GAME

This game was my first with a digital chess clock,and i got into allsorts of trouble with the clock.

The time was 15 minutes plus 10 seconds each time you move.
At one point i thought i only had 5 seconds left when it was 5 minutes.
I won the game because my opponent made a mistake,otherwise i think i should of lost.

I am black in this game.
Once i got the g pawn off it was a race to h8.
