This was a G45 I played at chess club over the weekend,  and I played pretty weakly.  The main mistakes I've spotted are 1) not snatching the b1-g6 diagonal when I had the chance,  and not snagging the hanging e3 pawn before move 10.

Anything else I could have done better?

Study opening books and you will know where to develop your pawns and

pieces effectively.

From 14) ... Qe4??? It all goes downhill. You have no apparent attack and lost a knight. After that, you also lost a bishop. And even 18)... Kh8?????? is still worse than Kg7, after which you lose more material with Nxe8.
