Answers.Text: Agreed. If you want some advice on a game, *especially if you want to improve at strategy*, at least put in the effort to briefly describe the thoughts behind your moves (excluding very obvious ones) so that we can properly assess where you might have gone wrong. Did you have a coherent plan or did you make stuff up as you went along? That's important to know for useful advice.

  OK, I understand what you mean here. You want us to judge you as a player and point out your mistakes. You seek improvement by posting this game and want some expert comments.
  
  True, you must try posting questions which are more specific, and should relate to a particular chess idea or position, or else explanations get cringe-worthy, and become offbeat, but I do not see any problem in posting the entire game here.
  
  Anyways lets discuss the game and frame bullet points.
  
  * Your 7th move should have been f6 or h6 and not castle. You should have preserved your bishop instead of the knight.
  * I did not understand the move, 8) Rd7. You must try developing your minor pieces quickly.
  * 17th move c\*b4 is a blunder. The b4-pawn can wait to be taken. You are opening up the queenside, and making his rook active. A better plan would have been to wait and play Be7 and then doubling up rooks on e-file. You should have navigated the knight to Q-side for attacking the weak pawns. Nd7-Nb6-Na4/Nc4.
  * At move 23rd R\*a6 from white you are practically over.
  
  My Summary is black should have shown some patience, and not attacked every move. There is a chapter called maintaining the tension, which I believe you must watch on YouTube, and which will give you great benefits. You should attack where you are strong. You had the Centre e-file, and suddenly you opened up the Q-side.

  First off, there's no question that there's no question.
  
  Even if your question was "can I have someone's opinion about my game," it would not be appropriate for StackExchange as questions should not be "primarily opinion-based," nor "with too many possible answers or that would require an extremely long answer."
  
  Questions like this are better:
  
  * "What is the point of 5. Nc3, or is it purely a mistake?"
  * "What defensive technique should I have employed in the double rook endgame?"
