C11 French: Classical System: 4.e5 and 4.Bg5 dxe4 (1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Qg4)

As I keep getting my Chess.com rating higher and higher back to its old glory, I keep wondering when my eventual downfall starts. There has been some games where I know that my survival in them is not a long one. I hope to be mainly improving my rating though and maybe I can once more get to my peak rating there. It still needs around hundred points more to get there but maybe with precise play and minimizing my losses it will someday get there again. The game I am sharing with you now was played not that long ago at GameKnot and this particular variation of the French I think I have only played this one time. My loss of course was not due to the opening but my inability to play good moves later on in the game. Maybe if I remember these moves, I could try this opening again as it may need a second try or maybe even more tries than that. I have updated today mate in one, two and three sections. Not with that many additions but some.
