Here is a blitz game I played.I ususally flunk in blitz but I guess I did this well.
nice
good 2 hear that.wat bout analysis for better moves I could have taken to make better use of his blunders
12...Bd6? is a mistake as you lose a tempo, better was Be7 or Bc5.
I like 14...d5!? as it gains a tempo on the bishop and blocks the long diaganal.
18.f3?? is a big blunder by your oponent. I like Rfd1.
After this move (move 18) your oponets position just breaks.
You missed 24...Nxe3#
thanks.I never think about tempo in a blitz game.anything else?
Why did you give away a pawn on move 1?
More seriously, I think 12...Bd6 isn't a big mistake, since he has to prevent mate. He does that with g3, which is a serious weakness around his king. 13.Qg3 Qe4 would have lost a piece, which leaves 13.Qh3, not a great spot for the queen either. So 12...Bd6 was fine.
Of course 11.b4?? just gives away a pawn, but you saw that.
Same for 18...f3??, giving away an exchange, but you saw that.
Then he gives away two pieces.
You didn't do much wrong, he played at least four blunders. Which is why you can learn more from games you lost than from games you won.
Well, 1.d4 e5 may be good for blitz, but with resonable play by White you shouldn't be able to equalize.
So far I think nobody mentioned that after 20...Nd5 White has 21.e4!, after which I suppose you wanted to play 21...Ne3, but then 22.exf5 Nxf1 23.Kxf1 leaves White with two pieces for rook and pawn and quite a playable position, at least by blitz standarts ;-). Or maybe you thought about 21...Qg5 22.f4 Ne3 23.fxg5 Nxf1, which certainly improves on the line above, but still there was no need to give up a piece...
I hae posted a topic in the forums about it.

Re1?? he missed the fork, he should have played e4
Bb1?? he hung 2 minors, better was Nc4
Qh3?? he hung the rook better was Re2, traping your queen
how can 23.Re2 trap my queen?
