Look! the king flees!

https://lichess.org/6VoNXbTO/black

I was black, but I thought it could be hard for white to find the attacking idea in such a closed shut position, more territory is good but if I were white and didn't have clear attacking idea I'd open up the position with fxe4.(though with that choice d3 pawn will be targeted, but It is better to have a plan rather than having no plan at all, as mikhail chigorin said. white's dark squared bishop needs so much manuevers to make it have activities.

I capitalized it since white seemed making unsolicited moves in closed positions, so I let the have more territory but let them think more, make bad decisions. what they wanted was absolutely kingside attack, but with that so obvious plan I'm absolutely not letting them do it. center is closed shut, I moved my king to center, and it is safe in there.

I think if I played h6 it would be natural to play Bc5 but I played Be7 instead so it already become out of theory, out of mind position so I made a opening mistake with no clear intentions. I made a mistakes with Bc5 bishop development and I was trying to try new line Be7, but yes If I play Be7 I won't really have to play h6.

The blunder 38... Nxd3?? was Idea of backrank mating threat with decoy but oh, queen has diagonal moves. I was lack of sense with chess geometry and that resulted in blunder.

but with opponent low on time, I decided to attack their e4 and c4 isloated pawns, which is very weak, and if I win any of those pawns my central connected passed pawns would be really strong, maybe they have to sac rook or queen, which eventually worked.

I think I have plans and tactic ideas but it is not sharpened enough, should practice with some workbooks and repeat recognizing my weaknesses, and have better solutions.
