Your opponent threw all his pieces at you. I believe you were up a rook, queen and knight for a bishop after move 9.
You played quite well and took advantage of your opponents blunders, however there were a few inaccuracies such as playing f3 instead of trading the knight or playing b4 and taking the rook instead of the queen(though it worked out in you favor this time). A general rule of thumb that may come in handy is when you have a material advantage you should trade pieces as it simplifies the play and makes it easier to win.

If by "done well" you mean you won then yea. If you mean you played well? Not even close.

This was a great game! I like how you took advantage of the repetition and found a way to win the game without even converting to an endgame!
I’m sorry a lot of others in this forum are just talking about how bad the game is. While both of you definitely played far from perfectly, that just means that there’s room for growth, and I personally don’t see why everyone wants to make fun of people who are just trying their best.
Great job! You’re doing great!

I can only speak for myself, but I am not making fun of the OP. Im pointing out the obvious and the OP asked for honesty.

Alright, sorry to insult you, But this is a REALLY bad game.
1. In Turn 5 You played b3, Hanging your knight to the bishop
2. In Turn 6 You literally Allowed the queen to be captured, Your opponent was Kind of Dumb to take the rook, but in turn 8 you Did it again.
3. In Turn 14 You left your bishop against the pawn, Your supposed to Save it by Capturing the pawn, there's nothing defending it!
Are you serious or is this Satire?
Dude thats the other opponent, I'm black
You took good advantage of all your opponents mistakes. Nicely done!
A minor point (as noted by another poster):
6. … Bxd2 is better. Trading for the Q limits White’s attacking possibilities much more than winning the R. In the game a moot point, as you ended up getting both.

That was a pretty good game. You played well in the opening, took advantage of your opponent’s horrible blunders, and kept playing well until checkmate.

I only have 2 complaints.
1. You should have taken the queen on move 6. You were lucky that the opponent blundered it again, but queen for bishop is better than free rook.
2. You blundered a pawn on move 13. You were already so far ahead in material that it wouldn’t have mattered, but it’s good to practice not losing pawns.
