Oh boy we are getting weird with it then.

I was actually surprised that after such a long break I retained most of my ability. Though I think I'm probably a lot worse at faster time controls.

Yeah you were crushing after b5 and really even before that. There was this constant threat of g5 I walked into when I played Nf6 and I was really in a bind after that. Apparently I had the right idea with moving the knight to cut off your rook, but I moved the wrong one. If I didn't play cxb5 you were just winning my pawn with your rook after b takes, so I thought maybe at least I could trade down a bit and fight with the pawns but I was still too trapped. It was definitely a good game, you basically just had more active pieces throughout and I just kept getting slightly worse throughout the middlegame. Your bishops definitely had the advantage after I opened things up, that was probably the thing that lost me the game. Well played!
