I was forced to bring my king out into the open by my opponent but I ended up using it as my primary attacking piece,  one of the most unusual games I have ever played.  Any comments about the game would be appreciated. I am black in this game. Was I unwise to expose my king like that?

You were extremely unwise to do that, and only won because you faced an equally unwise opponent.  You have perfectly good 3 pieces in the upper right corner of the chess-board that you haven't even touched.  DEVELOPMENT!  It's key.

Sorry about my previous posting, I did not really look at it closely, here is an edited version.

It's hard to argue with success but I think you got lucky.  7 Nf5 makes things tricky for you.  7....Qe8?? 8 Bf7 forces it back to d8 and 9 Qh3 creates all sorts of nastiness.  Even if black makes another  move, white certainly wants to keep his queen and more developed material.

Nishantboy,  I did not make this thread to offend you, it is just very unusual to have a king so deep in an opponents territory, the checkmate was as much luck as it was judgement

You should've taken his name out of the repaly - you can probably still edit it out.  It's a common courtesy.

Bd7 would of been one of the best moves for black not g5, were the Queen comes in.
