This guy i played on live chess made some mistakes(like giving me a free queen and not getting anything beneficial back) but i was just wondering if anyone could see what white was up to and what mistakes i made(appart from the last move which was the result of a bad mouse). I know i am not a very good player so i just wanted to see what other people have to say. I was playing black.

Dont know. I think he was trying to lose. He was offering up every piece he had for a sac of some kind.

Maybe it's because your opponent was rated 716? lol

Perhaps it was accident?

9 Qd5+ he wins the knight on e4.
As it went, he got a pretty strong attack. You probably should've played 10... Ke7 (even though then you still have to worry about--among other things--White's knight moving and uncovering a Bg5+ threat).
He appears to be winning after 14 cd.
He could've won with 18 Nxe6, since if 18... de 19 Rd1+ Kc6 (19... Ke4 20 f3 mate) 20 Rxd8 followed by 21 Qxc7+ winning the rook on d8.
A move later though, you can probably survive: 19 Nxe6 Qg8, and Black's king gets out (I think) after 20 Nd8+ Kb5 (20... Qxd8 21 Qd5 mate).
thx for the ideas everyone :)
lol, but surprisingly he was rated 1000(around) and i was like 850. so LOL
