This type of Exchange French is common in online play but I didn't think a 1900 player would play this when they could play more aggressive. [4.c4
Bb4+
I thought playing the exchange French would lead to this. In tournament play, the exchange would look like this.]

Maybe Bg6 is better because I could trade light square bishops right away instead of having his Knight.

Fritz liked Nbd7 better, because it connects the rooks!

Fritz said that Black has a slightly better position but c5 is a stronger move than Nh5.
21.f4

A Bad move according to fritz. Nhf6 is better. I now will lose control of e6 square.
22.Qe3
Nhf6
Having a feeling that I should of keeped my Knight on h5 and played Ndf6 instead. Fritz said the move I made was ok but Kf7 would of helped.
23.Qe7
Qxe7
Maybe avoiding Queen trade by Qc7 follow by Re8? Fritz agrees with Qc7 instead of trade.

Rc7 and I still think I have a game to play. This move should cost me the game.

I believe a5 is a good move instead of Rh7. Fritz likes Rh7 here.

Rxh4 is interesting. a5 is correct said Fritz.
33.Kg2
Since moving my Rook to a7, I have no real chance in improving my position and this will end up in a loss according to fritz.
