May I ask where I screwed up? not how to get out of it, not anything about the current position, or future position, but which moves, say, BEFORE move 18 I could have played better?
Edit: Just finish the game, then we can analyse it for you.

Here's a game between John and Johnny.
1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5
4. c4 g4
5. d4? gxf3
suppose the game is on the 25th move later, and John is still a piece down. He asks in the forums where he has gone wrong. He doesn't know anything about tactics & the value of pieces. Now, someone tells him that he should move his knight away if it is attacked. On the 25th move, right now, his knight is attacked by a pawn. So he moves it away.
Here's another example:
John and Johnny are playing another game. John has a nice winning combination involving only pieces on the kingside, but he hasnt seen it yet. Neither has Johnny. they move around with their pieces on the queenside for 10 moves. John asks what he should have played 10 moves ago. So someone tells him about the nice combo. He now plays this combo and wins the game.

Originally posted by schakuhrOK, I see your point there, but that's not what I want, I thank you for clarifying that up, but I did say I didn't want any specific moves, and so I'll withdraw all game analysis requests for now, and I don't think I'll need any help on the current position at the moment, although a simple answer at the start could have helped speed things up (I have found a way out of it).
