How could I have played better?

    To start this off, I won.  However, I think that there is a high probability that there were moves better than the ones i made.  I am relatively new to chess.com so my rating isn't very stable yet.  Anyways, here is the game:

    (sorry if my annotations and variation markings are used incorrectly as i have never used the insert game function)

    Any help is welcome.

    The closest name is 'Emglish Opening'.

    Yes 7.Nf3 looks problematic , and Black could have taken advantage . But what about 7 Bf3 ?. I think 7 Bf3 is good -- doubles the attack on the black Knight and you continue to have the threat on c5 Bishop 

    After 12 Bxh3 ( I usually like to take offerrings , and try my best to take it). Did you explore 13 d3 ???. Hmm  you played that on 14 th move..

    Instead of 14 ...Qh5 , can black have played 14.... Bg4 ??

    22 g4 was good , but again I think it could have come a move earlier ??

    Thanks for posting the game and the annotations are perfect !!

    Thank you Sutlej, the alternative for 7 would have been better if black had seen the pawn move.  On move 14 ...  that could have led to a better game for black definitely and I had not thought of that while I was reviewing the game.  As for 22 g4, I had thought of it earlier but decided to keep that for a little since my next few moves would either force a response or win material.
