I feel this my best game to date.

I've played around 20-25 games in my life, so I'm still very new to the game.  I'm just checking here to see if someone can point out something I may need to improve on.  Perhaps something my opponent may have missed, or a move I missed that could have put me in a better position.  Thanks for the help in advance.

Nice game, godsentx!

Here are my comments:

5.Nce2 gives away a pawn  5..dxe4 6. dxe4 Qxd1 7. Kxd1 Nxe4

After 10. ...Bxe5 you're a little behind in development. He ought to castle, put his bishop on g4 and knight on c6 and you'll still be digging out that f1 bishop.

14.c3 gives you a backward pawn on d3 and it's on a half-open file. Black should put a rook on d1, bishop on a6 and knight on b4 and take that thing

After 19. Qxf3, you're biggest worry is that poor pawn structure.

Indeed, nice transition to a winning endgame. I think 43. Qh5+ was a quicker finish (43...Kg7 44. Re7+ Kh8 45.Qxh7#), but any win's a good one.

Well played! Congratulations!
