Analysis needed

Hi!

I played a Live Chess gave vs a upper 800s player, and just want analysis. Thx. (Yes I won. I'm 800 flat rating... I must've screwed something up...) Sorry that the board is large. It started on "small" so I set it to "default"

I don't think there needs to be an analysis. GeberalGrant didn't look like he knew what he was doing and you just destroyed him. LOL

Do you really want an analysis? Your opponent just played silly, so I don't think this game is worth analyzing.

I would suggest, however, that you practice some mating patterns.  At your level, tactics and mating patterns will serve you well. Just as example, besides 34. R1c6# you overlooked 35. Rc7#  Good luck.

Black was just messing around or didn't know what he was doing. No real analysis needed. If anything, a few tactical combinations were missed. Try the tactics trainer.

Black could have won a piece with 8...e5

Not to mention the queen was hanging a few moves after.

Seriously.  Not at a point where you need to analyze yet.  I would say stick with the opening principles but you have to ask what are black's threats?  He could have forks your pieces with 8...e5 and 9. Qg4 was a flat out mistake.  I would feel bad but by your commentary "this was a no brainer" "he must have been sleeping" it's necessary to bring you back down a little bit :-).  If you were playing with another player slightly better, the game was lost.. and you would have been embarrassed because you lose to the hippopotamus opening. 

Just work on basic tackbacks and anticipating your opponents moves.

I really hope this guy was joking around. People who play like this should be shot.
