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.

 

 
This is the first I've tried to embed and caption a game so if there are mistakes I apologize.

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

Paul,

Thanks for the advice. 

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