7...Nh5? is mistake you put knight in out.Your knight on h5 don't threat nothing.

9...Bg5? is big mistake.You gave to him one piece.For what? For nothing.One piece more is big advantage but white didn't know how to use it.

afther 10...f6 white played 11.Bh4?-mistake  correct move was 11.Be3!

12.Qc1?? is big mistake  

 16.Qa3?? is big mistake correct move was 16.Nxg4

21...h5? is mistake you had mate in 3    21...Qh4+  22.Bh3 Qxh3+ 23.Nh2 Qxh2#  mate  0:1 

28...g3? mistake,  correct was -  28...Qg3#  mate  or Qh2# mate 

29.Rf2?? is big mistake  correct move was 29.Rd7+  (analayse position afther 29.Rd7+)

D6 to D5 is too slow. Should have either moved it to begin with or left it alone in opening. You said lets attack the king before yours was protected and castled. Goodbye Bishop? you lost yours. Knight has good position? what if he started trading down. then you would have lost the knight and had bad pawn structure.

Im not sure why knight takes bishop on move 20 didnt happen sooner. But you should have adjusted for all of that earlier.

Move 28 should have been queen move to mate.

Despite all the bad moves on both sides I like that you look for more than just taking a piece as your next move.

 there you go.  You both need to try to check your moves for mistakes, and try not to give away pieces.  Also, sometimes needless in-between moves can be good for your opponent, forcing a piece back where it is needed to defend, for example.

First, just as a side note,

In the position after 4.Nf3, there is a seemingly outrageous sacrifice that has never been refuted, has been played a couple of times in GM play (in tournament games, I think it was Ilya Smirin who was one of the victims).

4...Nxe4!?!? 5.Nxe4 d5 The whole sacrifice is based on the g3 pawn, which prevent would would probably have refuted the attack (Ng3). Now, black pushes white as far back as possible 6.Nc3 d4 7.Na4 (or 7.Nb1.    Black would love to see 7.Ne4 f5 8.Neg5 e4, which is very similar to this line) 7...e4 8.Nh4. Even modern programs think this is unclear. 

 

Just wanted a little side note:) now for the game itself:

haha yeah, i thought it was but i wasnt sure.  I think it's the black side of what is sometimes called the halloween gambit.  But when black plays it here, the pawn makes it more playable.  I think the very top players give the piece back, but i could be wrong.

6...Nd4 would have been inconvenient for white. Very uncomfortable bind. His queen cannot move away from the diagonal of the pin, because the knight has to stay protected, and h3 cannot be played because Nxf3 would then cost the h3 pawn.

 

I think black would have a better position then. At least equal, but white is slightly more uncomfortable.

 

You were right that 7.Qe1 was a strange move, but only because your previous move 6...d5? should have just lost a pawn to a quick trick: 7.exd5 Nxd5 8.Nxd5 Qxd5 9.Nxe5:)

 7...Nh5?? Should have cost the game. White was merciful and settled for a single center pawn, which should give him a winning position already (black has no attack, and shouldn't have had any, despite your comment "lets attack the king". A single piece or 2 do not count as an attack). I say he was merciful in that because 8.exd5 causes the other center pawn to drop as well once the knight moves. Black is close to resigning there.

 9...Bg5?? Changes a position from bad to lose. Once again, a single piece or two are not an attack... You just gave away a whole piece for... Not much.

 

 11.Bh4 is a definite mistake and after Be3 white would have cruised his way to victory, however it is still easily won for white after Bh4, so I can't mark it with a "?"

 

White missed another chance he had: 12.Nxe5 exploits the pin on the f6 pawn.

 

With 12.Qc1?? whtie gave you a chance to grab his queen with Ne2+, which would have turned the tables on white. I just think you did not realize how bad the position was for you by then. Instead, you played 12...Nxf3, which is again a position which is in white's favourif he had just played: 13.Bxf3 Bxf3 14.h3, next Qe3 is coming, and that bishop is trapped anyway. Black is in a bad position.

 

In any case, even without seeing this tactic, a queen is more than a piece. 

Afer 13.Kh1? by white, the position is complicated again. 

13...g5? too bad, this should have turned the game back in white's favour. Better was:  13...Nxh4 14.gxh4 0-0. Black can kick the knight out at will with ...c6 and has a perfectly playable position.

After 13...g5, white should have replied: 14.h3 and the bishop has to retreat (13...gxh4 14.hxg5 and both knights are threatened). 14...Be6 15.Bxf3 Ng7, and even after the h4 bishop's fall, white has both a safer king position and an extra pawn.

 

15...gxh4? again, allows 16.Nxg4 and black is the one with the problems. Black has to try something like Nxh4 to break apart white's position and get rid of his own loosely protected knight, he may be lost anyway, but at least it's not that simple.

 

16.Qa3 what? white does not seem to be playing at all.  (except that ...h3 was dangerous for white. hxg3 shouldn't be)

 

17.hxg3? White took with the wrong pawn. Gives black too many options

 

18...b6? You are correct. It is a waste. It was time to use white's mistake (which was exf5, the knight should have taken) and play 18...Qg5 (threatening Nxg3+ followed by mate with the queen). White has only temporary defenses to that.

 

20.Nxg4 ouch. White should be winning again. This will stop happening in your games the more you improve. You were in a position I would be forced to resign in for most of the moves in the game. As you improve, and play against better opponents, they lose the advantage less and less and one or two slips like that will be the end of you.

 21.gxf4?? Of course a mistake, which should be answered with: 21...Qh4+ and an unavoidable mate:)

Your move 21...h5? is once again a huge mistake after which white is winning if he just plays Nh2. A temporary retreat.but with the h file closed, white just places a rook on g1 and he has more than enough material to win with no effort.

 

22.Bxf3?? white returns the favor. 

23...Rg8?? nooo. Ouch. Again a mistake. 23...gxf3+  leads to forced mate (if Kxf3 Qxd3+ and if not Rg8 and mate on the h file in a couple of moves.).

Again white should win. (he can even play Bxc6+ and Bxa8 after the king moves. white can easily defend the few threats black can create with only a queen and a rook in that position).

White's choice of Bxb5 is also very good and should win. 

 

26.Rad1?? the position becomes unclear. 26.Rh1 would have threatened a deadly counterattack and effectively end the game.

26...Qh3? An error, Qf3 was the way to go...

 

28. f3?? Again - white throws away the win. 28.Rd7+ should be a huge advantage for white. Maybe winning. I'd be happy to give my analysis if requested, but this post is already too long.

29.g3? You had a mate in 1: Qh2#. Instead, you give white the option of Rd7+, which now should be a draw for white (more complicated with the pawn on g3 than it was before. White missed a lot of chances).

 

So white was in a practically winning position many times during the game as well.  Even in the last move of the game he had at least a draw. 

Conclusions: 

You need to study simple tactics more (missing the win of a queen, and in another part of the game, missing a mate in 1 (in another part of the game - a mate in 3-4 moves - all forced)), respect your troops better. Being a piece down will mean you are doomed in almost all cases against players just slightly above your level (from ~1300 it gets difficult to survive a piece down, against ~1600, almost impossible. Unless you have an absolutely tremendous compensation).

Also, keep in mind that a single piece or 2 do not constitute an attack.
