When ever we lose a game some people have the tendency to hide the game from being published and live in denial. The reality is you must go over every loss and tear it apart in every aspect. Opening middle game, ending, the psychological aspects, time management, tournament and match strategy. You must move forward from every game no matter what the result as each game you play is the greatest study material of all.
The following is a quick annotation.

Somehow white decides that a dragon is best, steer the game back towards sharp theory, If black is unprepared ok but white must be prepared also. When facing a weaker opponent it is perhaps an idea to chose a safer opening and just wait for the mistakes to come. White's time-105 Black's time - 113
10...a6?!
This move is not normal and should promise white an easy advantage but white must react quickly with his attack as in many dragon lines sometimes that one tempo proves to be decisive.

11.Bb3?!
White plays a safe move but this is not in the spirit of the opening. Black hasn't threatened anything so the K-side attack must move without delay.
11.h4! White must attack quickly there is no need for safety moves like Bb3 and Kb1 white will crash through first.
A) 11...b5?! 12.Bb3 Na5 13.h5 Nxh5 14.Bh6 Nxb3+ (14...Nc4 15.Bxc4 bxc4 16.Rxh5+-) 15.Nxb3 Be5 After looking at the alternatives sacking the exchange seems like black's best chance.

11...b5?! 12.Kb1?
12.h4 Transposing to the above variations is of course better.
12...Rb8 13.g4?!
13.Nxc6 Promises white nothing.
13.h4! Na5 (13...h5 I was worried about this move during the game thinking black would stop my attack and this is true. White must alter his plan and play for central control but I should still get the advantage afetr 14.Nxc6 Bxc6 15.Rhe1 a5 16.Bd4 a4 17.Bd5 Bxd5 18.Nxd5 Nxd5 19.Bxg7 Kxg7 20.exd5 b4 21.g4 White is better due to a stronger attack on the King and nice central pressure ) 14.h5 Nc4 15.Bxc4 bxc4 16.Bh6 Qb6 17.b3 Bxh6 18.Qxh6 cxb3 19.cxb3 Qc5 20.Nd5 Nxd5 21.exd5 Qxd5 22.hxg6 Bf5+ 23.Nc2 Bxc2+ 24.Kc1!

14.Rhe1?! Nc4 15.Qd3 Nxe3 16.Qxe3 b4 17.Nd5 a5 black has a slight edge.
The best move appears to be 14.Bh6 Bxh6 15.Qxh6 b4 16.Nd5 Nxd5 17.exd5 Nxb3 18.Nxb3 and white may claim to be a bit better

20.Rc1
White's time - 6 minutes Black's time - 101 minutes as can be seen white has used too much time already and this is the major factor for the loss.

38.Qxe7 Rxe7 39.Rc7 Ra7 40.Rxa7 Rxa7
White has the better winning chances in this position but unfortunately for me it is a little tricky to play and with only 30 sec for each move it is no wonder I stuffed it up. It does not excuse losing however that is just bad play I should have been able to hold the draw.

White's time - 50 sec Black's time - 50 mins. Now black is doing the opposite of white and using too little time It is always tempting to blitz out your moves when your opponent is low on time but if you have a superior position this is just crazy!
50.f5 gxf5 51.g6 Kc6 52.g7 f4 53.Rb6+ Kc5 54.Kc3 Rc6 55.b4+ Kd6+ 56.Rxc6+ Kxc6 57.Kd4 f3 58.b5+ Kd6 59.b6 f2 60.b7 Bxb7 61.g8Q f1Q 62.Qd8+ Ke6 63.Qb6+ Kf5 64.Qxb7 White has the better ending but someone with table bases will come to a concrete solution.
50...Kc6 51.Rf6+ Kb5 52.Rb6+?
52.a6

Black is now winning

61...Kc6??
Black again is moving quickly and doesn't see what is going on in the position because now white has a forced win. 61...Rc7+ Holds black's pressure in the position.
62.Rxd7 Kxd7 63.Kd4??
Problem is I didn't have enough time to calculate f5 and I panicked, Black is now winning comfortably.
63.f5 And white wins with a pawn break through.
A) 63...Bb7 64.Kd4 gxf5 (64...Ke7 65.fxg6 hxg6 66.h7) 65.g6 hxg6 66.h7;

White Resigns
0-1
So in conclusion what can be gained from such a terrible loss.
Time Management is critical sometimes a average move is better than trying to find the best move. Understanding the spirit of the opening is important and If you play sharp opening's you better know what you are doing. Never underestimate your opponent they still have to make mistakes for you to win. Calculating in time pressure is not an easy task but one which must be practiced.
