Can someone tell me what the hell is going on here? Game

I set up some nice pins and exchanges in this game, it's coming to an end now. Game

I'm in a slightly tight position here, I think I would rather have those pawns than a bishop but hey-ho. I'm looking at holding down the F file with either the lower rook or my queen and then somehow pinning that his queen. Game
 
In the first game he wants to prevent Bb4 (although a bit early, I would say a3 only after ..e6). You could try a King's Indian type setup with 2. ..g6.
 
Do you reckon he was banking on me moving my bottom rook up to take a pawn and then pinning my own queen? Anyone got any other games worth commenting on?

it looks like his only chance barring you saccing stuff for no reason

Just signed up to Chess.com to learn how to play. (I've always known all of the basics such as how the pieces move, en passente and castling, but I have no concept at all of how to acheive my goal, how to open, how to formulate a strategy, how to play around what the opponent is doing, etc.)

It seems like you can only view demos of the beginners tutorials without paying though. I'd understand spending money on this product to gain access to the intermediate and advanced strategies from grandmasters, but it doesn't seem worthwhile at this stage to learn the ropes.
