here is an enjoyable game i'ld like to share. We were quite stuck sometime but we had a cool 2nd half after all.
I had some difficult choices to be make, but eventually it worked out in my favor:P
Feel free to give any comments/suggestions for me to learn or whatsoever!

4.. Be6? (you had to play d5 and not lose a pawn)
5 Bd3?? (5 Be6 fe 6 Ne6 -> N:f8 with extra pawn and black without a castle)
5.. Ng4? (5N:e6 fe 6Qg4+-) 6.Nf3? Qf6? (what queen is doing there? Your knight must be away)
To be continued
After 6 move the game was really good, you played very well . I think, you had to play Ba3+ before Na6 to avoid the trade of bishops (22 Be7 K e7 23 Qa5 and black lose a bishop)
28 Bd1? (28 Nd4! cd 29 Qb4 black in danger->Qe7,Bg4)
I would be afraid to play 33..c4 in such sharp position, as black king is opened for attack: (33..c4 34 Bh5+ Kf8 35 Be7! Ke7 36 Qb7 and black is in danger)
In general, the game was very exciting and interesting.
Hi Ilya thanks for your comments! I learned some!
The opening could have been better indeed, i could have done some better moves. And white also:P we were both lucky there then:)

I dont see how black could have lost a castle there..
what queen is doing there?
i shouldn't have moved my queen upfront already indeed!

You are right again. black was lucky there that there wasnt a 23 Qa5
i dont.. I just could have done
33..c4 34 Bh5+ Q:h5 and white would have lost a bishop. Although i was suprised that white did 34. Qxd4.. now he's checkmate

THe problem with 5 n g4 is that nxe6 , pxn and then the queen takes the night and you are down a piece.
If black tried q to h4 then the knight simply takes blacks c pawn and k moves over. Then the q moves to e2
