Here is my first win playing an opponent who was meant to be around 1750.
Great game.
Just pointing out one probably mistake:
White had everything the way he wants it in the first few moves, but the 12th move:
12.Bc4 may be a mistake. Luckily black took the rook... What happens if 12...e6
White's position is no longer necessarily THAT strong (I still like it, but I think it was just winning a second ago. Now white's chances to attack are greatly reduced).
Black will take the e1 rook (not the a1 rook) when he can, and although white will have a very good position, Things are becoming more complicated.
Maybe 12.Bg4 works better. You see black's problems if he tries 12...Bxg4? 13.Qxc2 (13...Bxh3 won't give anything to black, so white just has a winning attack).
White's main idea is either the simpler 12...Nxe1 Bxf5 or the more direct 12...Nxe1 13.Qb3 (hitting f7, b7, b5... If black tries 0-0-0, THEN Bxf5. It's over).
Other than that small mistake, it was a wonderful game, and a cute little mate
