What are your thoughts on this. I was truly disappointed that I won this on time because it looked like it would have been a fun game?

4. Nf3 is more accurate, as after 4. e4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e5! is unclear. After 4. Nf3, e4 is still coming

Move 2 is bad for black. Play 2...e6 first.

That said, the previous post is incorrect, post 2 that is. After 3.cxd5 Nxd5, White should play 4.Nf3 first before playing e4.

ahh, forgive my status as a patzer. I will try to play more accurately in the future.

They all said it. Nc6 was not best. Nd2 from white was also odd, I think about half the moves were a bit peculiar. At least in this order.
