Queens Gambit
U played the opening correctly , but the move I really liked was pawn to b4! That killed his queen, the reverse attack of bishop was missed by your opponent , in fact playing over the game I missed it too

Nice. 5. ... Nc6?! is a typical move by Black palyers who don't know what they are doing (not as bad as 1. d4 d5 2. c4 Nf6?! or 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Bg4? though). In that rating range it's fairly easy to get a headstart into the game as d4 player if you follow it up with c4 and know the general ideas, because opponents often don't.
That being said, 6. Bxf6 does look a bit weird and untypical, though with the black knight developed to c6 instead of d7 (as is normally done), it's probably not that bad. Black can't take back with the knight, as it would be if the knight was on d7, but also can't do the typical c7-c5 push, which would lead to an exchange c5 that would pull the e7-bishop away and leave the f6-knight pinned again.
