A fun game; I think the King/Rook fork on turn 8 cost White tempo that he never managed to gain back. I think I stayed on the offensive almost the entire game; perhaps a different method of attack would have been better? Any other comments are also greatly appreciated.

With regards to your comment on move 24, white cannot castle.

yeah I was wondering why you didn't take f1 as well :p

24. Qxf1+

25. Kd2 Rf2#

 

I guess you have been a bit lucky he didn't take the knight. I didn't know why you too k it I mean you are already up an exchange you could just try to generate some attack by centralising your knight and not taken a useless pawn on the side.
