good recap and honestly solid game against a way stronger opponent, seeing a tactical exchange sacrifice is expecting a lot i think everyone should be required to play london or reverse london in the london chess classic.
This looked like good prep against the Nc3 line, and White didn't really got anything out of the opening; it's just one of those lines that gets very concrete from the get go, so never easy to handle, since neither side can just rely on "natural/principled" moves
To help with visualization practice simple endgames without any visual aid, only in your head and gradually increase the difficulty, then when calculating in general, try to visualize the position clearly after every move. yeah you control d5 and white is just too slow to take advantage of the king. it will take white two tempi just to make any threat and by that time you can defend. The reason why in some of those positions you can be an exchange down is because white's light square bishop is garbage. you will have two great nights and an extra pawn. by no means winning but black is doing ok. in the other version white has a dangerous dark square bishop and control of the open d-file, white's knight is frothing at the mouth after noticing the d6 square. sacking material for positional gain is one of the hardest hurdles to overcome. i am currently working on that myself. at around 1800 fide.
instead of being scared of moves find an solution and calculate the lines, if youre scared of ur king in the centre dont just look and think that, calcilate the moves and if youre in time, youre in time

@3:04 I think the board changed colour because you went into a different line to the one played to it went into an analysis mode.
