I can turn 1.a4 or 1.h4 into a huge weapon if my opponent doesnt know what to do.
I thought I could handle the Wayward Queen attack - and then this happened.

I play the wayward Queen attack on occasion - but usually expect my opponent to know what they're doing in the book move stage, but still for me to emerge with a decent set up.
I also thought I'd already become adept at repelling such an attack, having beaten the Nelson bot on numerous occasions.
According to the analysis I was well and truly on the back foot from 6...Nxd4. I knew for sure I was in trouble from 9. Bxf6 and from then on really struggled as to what to do.
My opponent missed checkmate on move 20.
Is there much I could've done after move 6 or 9 to rescue the game?
The bishop development to c5 wasn't the best, the dark squares around your king are weaker and prone to attack. I suggest Bg7 instead or Be7.

Guess where your bishop is belonging when you have played an early g7-g6.
Certainly not at c5.
I agree with this, like I've stated previously.
Condolences Whiteduke. That was one tricky customer.
After you played g6 (a good move) the dark squares around your king were weakened. You bishop would have been much more useful on g7, guarding all those dark squares and your knight!
