Chess game I just played.

Well here is a game I just played, and won.  I was black in this game.  I would like some comments from white's point of view, as I know my opponent in real life and would like to help him get better at chess.  

Just for avoidance of doubt my opponent is not Max, William or Thomas.  Nor was it John.  

Well, I don't know too much about the Danish Gambit, but I'll try and give you some useful feedback.

1. In my opinion White played far too passively with Ne2 and Bd2 considering he played one of the most aggressive openings out there. Ne2 also blocks the f1 Bishop. Nf3, Bc4 and 0-0 looks far more ambitious to me.

2. White wasted time by moving pieces twice, and didn't castle.

3. exd5 opened the e-file, which allowed you to get a game-winning attack.

Thanks Paul.  

2 is correct.  I noticed this during the game, and then I looked at his game history, and it seems to be a common pattern in his games.  

3  Yeah I think Qxd5 would have been better.  

I know that I'm a bit late commenting on the above game, but did your opponent give reasons for playing 3... f6 and 5... Nb4? Those moves don't look very good to me.

10... Qc7 seems to lose a pawn to 11. dxe5, which you missed until move 13.

And another game I have just played against him.  I must admit I don't think I am in good form at the moment, even though I won.  But this isn't about me anyway, its about my young opponent.  

He said after the game he had never seen en passant before, and whilst I was tempted to let him off, I think the only way you learn about it properly is when it is played against you.  

I am a bit late to replying as well.  No there was no reason given.  

I am assuming though he has in the past played c6 when playing d5, and whilst that idea might be good on the queen side, it never usually is on the king side as it exposes the king too much.
