Very nicely done. I believe in that game you were performing much better than a typical 1450 that game. Some of your moves were a bit sketchy, but your opponent definitely did not realize that, or capitalize on it very well, and you rocked it.

good job

And if white make a move 45.Ba4 ?

@Leon53 Then the black queen looks pretty good on f3... It's not over yet, and things are still dangerous for both sides, but I feel black has an advantage, but queens with opposite bishops is always dangerous for both sides as long as the queens are on. Looks like black may be able to get the queens off, and have low winning chances in an advantageous opposite bishop endgame
