Please let me know what I could have done better besides the hung knight. Thank you in advance for your comments.

I meant as far as into the game. I was just trying something out this game because of the rating differential. I wanted to throw him off.

Play with black is my biggest weakness besides my endgames so I try different things all the time.
i love this game, didnt even realize you had a huge advantage till you lost your knight,
i see why you moved nc3, but why not protect and use your king to escort your pawns
sorry for stopping prematurly, i realized that why would the guywho won ask for help... and sorry for being a dumb guy
1)...b6 is actually the Owen's Defense which usually transposes into other oppenings. There's nothing wrong with the defense although the computer will give a + to white after it. Looks like you were at a tough end-game although you loss the game when the Knight fell.
Two Knights vs (1) Rook ending is tough, you have to be really good with your Knights and coordinate them well. I guess that is why the Rook is worth 5 points and the Knight is worth 6. When the pawns are off to the sides, the Rook, with it's long range has the advantage.
This depressed me, at move three you could have gained easy equality by undermining the d5 pawn. Not only is it possible, to a human, the move jumps right off the board and kicks you in the face. I mean humans always look for moves to exploit, don't they?
Well appearantly you don't, and let your opponent get away with murder by mindlessly following an opening scheme and playing g6. Out of everything in this game, this struck me. Pay attention during the opening!
The hippo, by the way is not a beginners opening, opponents get a good attack with little effort. b6 does nothing to help defend the k-side. I used to play the pirc, it took me at least 100 losses before I was able to refute pushing the h-pawn up mindlessly (and even then, I had to actively play to prevent my opponent from winning just by pushing his h pawn up). And heck, I played the pirc WITHOUT b6.
Since then I've played 1... e5 mainlines, facing the multitude of very scary gambits. Why? Because when I play 1. e4, I play 1. e5 because thats what I hate facing as white. It is ****ing impossible to gain any sort of advantage against 1... e5, I hate it as white, so that's what I play.

Michael, 3. Nf6 does nothing, he can just play Nc3. I also do not see how that final paragraph applies to me. I 1. was not facing an e5 opening and 2. did not play a central pawn mainline defense.
