Petrov gambit? Speculative by black, but I won!

Meh, Nc3 looks fine to me.  d3 is certainly good too... it's 6.a3 that loses the pawn for no reason.

Be2 is not a bad spot for the bishop.  The Qe7 Be2 sequence is pretty mundane IMO :p

Qe3 doesn't gain you the center, it challenges the e-file.  You're not threatening Qxe3 (only black can make that decision).  I mention this because assuming a capture or re-capture is a common mental mistake.

Qxe2 blunders the rook, and you captures it so that's good.

Bh3 blunders the king, and you mate him so that's good.
