What Am I Doing Here? (Part 3)

[continued from the previous post]

Continuing my latest adventure with the Noa Gambit, or the Monck Gambit.

"Italian Game" tournament, Chess.com, 2026

 29.Ke3 Ke6 30.c4 Re5+ 31.Kd2 Nd6 32.Kc3 g6 33.b4 

The King probably should have gone to b4, and, maybe, the Rook to d2, before that.

33...Ne4+ 

Simplifying further, but sending the Rook behind enemy lines with 33...Re1 was to be considered.

34.Nxe4 Rxe4 35.Rd4 Re2

See the previous note.

36.Rd2 Re3+ 37.Kd4 Ra3 38.Kc5 Re3 39.Kxc6 Black resigned

White's King will help his Queenside pawns advance, while Black's King is cut off from the action.

I am going to have to take chessfriend Yury V. Bukayev's advice, and stop playing this sketchy opening.
