Attacking Castled King ( First Post) Beginner

I haven't posted any games before or formally analyzed my games for that matter.  So this is me trying it out.  Please excuse the lack of probably any good theory.  But I am open to any advice on how to better analyze my games or even on possible moves I didn't see.

9... h5 looks rather unsound to me.  White had to accommodate you quite a bit for you to win that one.

Honestly, I don't think you as an inexperienced player should be analyzing 3-minute games.  Play them for fun, but don't take them too seriously. Smile

On the other hand, is it great fun working with an open rook file against the enemy king

The tactic you learnt only works in certain positions, i.e. if the queen can immediately come to the h file.

Your note to move 14 is incorrect... if White had played 14. e4, then 14. ... Bg1 discovered check is mate after 15. Kxg1 Qh2 mate.

Disagree. In 1 turn or in 8 turns mating threaths, pressure is always nice.

Against good defence you've just given up a piece. Depends on the level of your opponent.

Pressure may be nice...but soundness is nicer. Smile

Where the heck is that OP anyway?...
