computer mistakes?

I am a hobby player (no ranking, but know chess basic) that used to play as a kid, and I just took up chess again discovering online gaming. I played this game against a chess computer. This is the first time I actually won, but I am not sure how I managed, so I would appreciate comments on which of my moves that gave me advantage, or to point out if the computer actually did any mistakes/weak moves. It did take me around 20 tries to beat the computer... (3 draws, and the rest losses), so I figured the computer can't have been so bad.

10...Nc5  is a breach of opening principle moving a piece twice in the opening.

13...Na5 is a pointless move and breaks the previous rule to boot.

24...Rf8?? is just a mistake a noob makes.

28...Kxf8?? terrible move, better was bishop takes f8.

black's biggest mistake was 25...Rc3

 

And Minzzo 26...Bxf8 27.Qf7+ Kh8 28.Qxf8# so Bishop takes is much more terrible

Not all chess computers play at the Deep Thought level.  At the lower levels a chess computer is programed to make mistakes.  If it is like Rypka and searches to 14 moves ahead then no one but the top top players in the World can beat it.
