Coming back from behind

Hi there. I had a game today on FICS where I stuck with it even though I was a piece down basically the entire game. I got a large advantage in pawns and was able to promote them and convert them into a material advantage by the end of the game. I have been playing very badly again as of late on FICS, losing lots of games straight out of the opening and missing mates-in-one and/or hanging pieces, or succumbing to simple tactics. On the other hand, I have been having lots of draws lately too in positions where I was down material. Anyway, here is the game. I hope it isn't too small to see. I will try to find another place to get a PGN plugin. waparker_johncecil_2009_2_6_21_57.pgn
Computer analysis courtesy of FICS I found a great online book on tactics. It is pretty simple stuff but it is a good read. EDIT: I found that I played a game against the same opponent back in December. It was funny because a very similar position arose out of the opening. Here is the game, just for fun: waparker_johncecil_2008_12_18_13_02.pgn
