So I played a game against a 1500+ player. I’m just hitting 1100 myself, but I feel like I had no way of winning this game. What could I have done differently?

To get above 1500 you have to really make sure you’re paying attention to long term positional weaknesses. So on move 9 when they played Bd3 you really needed to take it, because by letting them take on g6 later it ruined your pawn structure and created very big weaknesses around your king. If you take Bxd3 and then continue on, I think you’d have a very different game. Hope that helps!
