From what I can see, he made two mistakes: his seventh move (Nxd3+ I think is better) and his tenth (pawn to d6 maybe? or was he already losing?).
Awesome, though; it's like looking at a Morphy game.

I think he was more interested in gaining a full rook than an even exchange of knight for bishop, even though it would have left him in a better position. Also, d6 loses to Nf6#. The pawn push threw me off a bit until I noticed the knight check on the other side of the board. He couldn't take it with his queen without going down the exchange which would have left me up material even giving away the free rook earlier. I was actually kind of embarrassed by this win because I thought it was clumsily achieved in a brute force manner. There was no subtlety or finesse involved at all. I don't usually try to win games that way.
I appreciate the comment about the game being in the style of Morphy, even though that is a comparison I would never dare to make myself. I haven't really studied his games much, so any similarities are purely unintentional.

I agree, that was Morphy-like!
Black should probably have castled on his 7th move, and then (in addition to the rook) he's threatening 8... e4. Also he might've tried 8... Kf8. But anyway, a very sweet finale.

10...f6 is a terrible move by black

If he doesn't play f6, my next move is Nf6 checkmate.
ah i never see that, i only briefly look at the position, then his capture of your rook with his knight is the mistake as it gives you a strong attack, anyway nice game
I found this game. Superficially, there are some resemblances at certain points.
