How to beat Nora (2200) - a ChessBot on chess.com

Hi there,
I never thought I'd see the day when my son would actually get ahead of me in chess ... but it seems these days are fast approaching - and now I'm struggling to keep up with him !!  

Today I'm posting a game he recently played against Nora, a ChessBot on Home - Chess.com rated 2200 .. 

He tells me that it's not as difficult to beat her as one might think, but I beg to differ ... I've played several games against her in the last few days, and can't seem to finish the job, despite having a winning advantage for at least the first two thirds of the game ... He thinks that my approach might actually slightly wrong and that I ought to use chess.com's analysis engine more to figure out how to maintain my winning advantage.  Afterall, it seems that Nora's main foible is that she brings her Queen out too early and surely needs to be punished for it .. ?!!  

Result!! 1 - 0 













Here is my son's game, to set me an example: 

As usual, any comments welcome ...
