My first analysis post

Hi, so I'm rather new to Chess.com.  Been getting familiar with the sight and have played a few games.

I guess I would be classified as a beginner. 

So I played this game and I felt I was doing pretty good and then before I knew it Checkmate.  So let me know your thoughts about where I screw up (I'm sure there are lots of places) and what I can do to improve my game.

Quite a number of moves were wasted, Try reading a little more on "Developing Opening Principles" And work on doing some tactics.

nb6 should be saved for later

give the bishop up for g6 is an idea

Paul,

Thanks for the advice. 

I still have a hard time visualizing what my opponent is doing.  I appreciate the explaination.
