Did I actually play this game all that well?

After I won this game, my opponent accused me of cheating. I thought I played a pretty good game, but since he's rated so much higher than me, I figured it was more a case of him throwing the game away, rather than me playing brilliantly.


Did I actually play this game all that well, or did he just blunder his way to defeat?

That's the power of having clear attacking PLAN. No sign of cheating there. The attack is clear and simple. As mentioned by Paulgottlieb, it is the defense that is lame.

But I admit that for me it is not easy to defend against this kind of Colle system attack. I always push my g7 pawn to g6 (to block the possible Battery attack) and fianchetto the Bishop to defend my Kingside.
