I thought this was a pretty good checkmate, what does everyone else think? Oh, and any comments on the game as a whole would be appreciated.

On 14 there's a trap for black.

14...c5! 15.Qe5 c4 (16. dxc4 dxc4)

And the bishop is trapped.

BUT EVEN BETTER IS:

Then: 16... Bd6!

And the queen is trapped.

(The only saving move is: 16.Qd4 But again the bishop is still lost.)

black won the game but in my opinion, had white played patiently and soundly , even the "knight sacrifice" at the end could have been refuted..

black deserves a pat on the back for still having the guts to set up mate following sacrifices.

now for the small matter of trying to develope pieces in the opening and co-ordinating them in the middlegame...

please see the movelist for various variation analysis..

hope it helps..

thats my two cents.
