How should I have played this game?

Was lucky to get a draw with the Botez Bot 1801

No help of any kind  for chess setting and Botez played White.  

Rather than focusing on opening memorization, I tried to play the best possible move for my limited skill set.  My opening moves were very conservative rather than playing fast and loose. I know typically if I play this bot Botez I will expose my weak structure and my pieces will be  exsposed.  Perhaps someone could post their Botez Bot game as black?  I ran the review and its obvious I fell apart fast.  Took this Boy challenge because I have played all the lower rated bots.  Figured this would be one way to learn from opponents who make consistently strong moves.
