A recent game I had with many variations listed, and some annotations. Please post any comments.

If 13... Bd7 you can play 14 Qxd7+ and 15 Be3+ remaining a piece up.
There was actually a fairly comical mate in 5: 14 Bg5+ Kc7 15 Bd8+ Kb8 16 Qe5+ Ka7 17 Qxa5+ Kb8 18 Bc7 (the move you played was actually a mate in 6: in the 14... Ke7 line you give 18 Bb5 is not mate--Black can stave it off one more move by playing 18... Qd2+).
Thanks tonydal, I agree with your analyses. I was wondering why the input board didn't recognise the "checkmate".
missileman22, the opening I played is called the Queen's Gambit. dxc4 (Queen's Gambit accepted) allows me to play e4 (claiming the centre) with a tempo, as it attacks c4 pawn.
