I was white

As far as specific moves I only saw one that was an obvious mistake. On move 8 you wasted a tempo with Qc2. You could've instead played Be3 or another developing move.

 

Otherwise you played well. It was only a 5 minute game so I'm not sure what exactly you want as far as criticism. Here are some quick things I picked up though. It did take you a while to develop your QN and QB. Your attack on the queenside was quite slow. I think you could've made the b6 push on move 15. Instead you made the push on move 31 when it was of little consequence. While it definitely wouldn't have been decisive (mainly because of your lack of queenside development) it would've at least put pressure on his king.

 

That might have been a little more than you wanted =D but I figure it's best to give too much than not enough. Keep in mind this is just my opinion and it is probably all incorrect but maybe you can learn from my misconceptions!

 

Good luck in all you future chess ventures!

I think both sides played pretty good for a 5 minute game, I particularly liked the opening sequence, each side trying to steer the game onto familiar turf.

1. e4 d5  (Scandanavian)

2. d4       (Offering the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit)

2 .... e6  (French Defence)

3. exd5   (Exchange variation) 

I think that you had a good result, seeing as your opponent is rated 173 ECF (2034 Fide).
