One game: i felt like I was getting utterly outplayed during the early pawn game. White was still only a point ahead, but I felt they had better position. Then their knights started causing real issues, which was mostly solved by a bunch of moderately aggressive sacrifices to clear the board. In the end, we were equal on pawns, with slightly less developed pawns on my side, but a more coherent structure.
Pawn end game by white was not good. Changed their mind too many times between attacking pawns and defending. They tried to go for a draw, but there was too many pieces left on the board on their side and the game was pretty easily finished.
Gonna be real, it wasn't my best game, but it did make my heart thump trying to figure out how to not embarrass myself during the midgame.

I just reviewed this whilst waiting for a haircut. Oh god did I play bad in the early and mid game. Saved just on the transition to end game where I was super accurate.
