Opening Principles:

1. Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5

2. Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key

3. Castle

4. Connect your rooks

Tactics...tactics...tactics...

 

Pre Move Checklist:

1. Make sure all your pieces are safe. 

2. Look for forcing move: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board. 

3. If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board. 

4. If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece. 

5. After each move by your opponent, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"

I think 20 Ne5 would be better the 20 Bg6. You were winning at that point

A commentary on your game.

I feel like the King's Gambit is simply too complex and risky for you at the moment, I'd suggest you follow my recommendation above and try the italian game with "Ng5" against "Nf6" and "c3" against "Bc5". This is still an agressive repertoire but it is much more forgiving of mistakes.

My first piece of advice DONT play the Kings Gambit.  Its obvious from your game, you dont understand what to do.  Now let me ask you this...

What are 3 things you want to acccomplish when playing the Kings Gambit?

Optimissed

I don't like Qe2 for white but after black's reply, isn't 6. Q b5+ a clear win for white?

If you're going to play this opening, then learn how to play it.
You'll be better off sticking with Opening Principles though.
Whatever you do, good luck.

Did anyone told him that one cannot choose the opening that we do, because chess is a game that plays with 2 players out of which one (the other) is against you?

 

Anyway one do not "play an opening" just because it has a cool name or because our favourite player does. Playing like this prevent from learning anything from our games during the opening, because we try to achieve a formula instead of wining the opening phase of the game. The opening is a phase of the game, that we want to WIN. That cannot be achieved by a line followed by hearth, instead that mean :

1) Gain the control of the centre, and reinforce it and keep it to the middle game. Most beginners mistake is to think once they have knights looking in the middle a pawn or two there, that's enough. No, all the strategy in the opening of opponent if he's decent at chess, will be to make our control of the opening fall as he wants too to control it. Keep the control is our main worry.

2) Develop ALL the pieces (never move one piece twice as it mean another piece stay in the back, and except if you have strong reason to do else, develop knights first, then bishops and then connect Rocks but no Queen outside the protection of the pawns during the opening, as it becomes an easy target to gain tempo or fork another piece etc

3) Have the king in safety.

 

Any beginner who don't know any opening but follow these rules not only will do FAR BETTER than the same beginner trying to play an opening because he was told this one is good... But in addition he will learn fast and he will very soon after a dozen of games, be able to learn openings easily as the opening lines that he used not to understand at all, suddenly give him many clear and clever answers for all the problems he met during his games trying to follow the opening rules.

Then he will naturally learn openings easily. If one do the opposite way, he will struggle with his openings for a long time, failing to understand the goal of this phase of game and playing like a robot, never getting what he wanted, and always starting the middle game with disadvantage (except if his opponent is worse than him). Doing in the right order (mean learning and put into practice the rules without "by hearth opening lines") will insure very fast results et improvements, with soon a better rating and an ability to not only learn opening lines, but understand their meaning and thus being able to adapt to opponent moves. Refusing to do in the right order (trying to use opening lines known by hearth at all cost) will generaly lead to waste a long time with hundreds of games not improving at all because there is just NO opportunity to learn anything out of these. In one line the beginner learns as fast as in 10 or 20 games, to handle an correctly against any beginner, and soon turns to be at ease with opening lines that he will not need to learn as they will be natural answers to his natural questions. Very Happy. In the other line, the beginner can play hundreds of games with few or no improvement in the opening. Very sad. Choice is huge progress within as few as 10-20 games, or hundreds of games wasted.
