Rate this game 1-10 (my first checkmate!
Not trying to be mean but uhhhhhhh how did both sides hang their queen and who blocks a rook check with a queen 😭😭😭
It reminds me of the famous Morecambe & Wise piano sketch.
"I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order."
Don’t be down by these comments. You played well, and you make mistakes as you play. Even Magnus Carlsen was a beginner! I rate it 10/10 if you enjoyed it, and learned something.

People don't learn or improve if all they get is approval for doing dumb things.
How is 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 c6 3. Nc3?! cxd5 4. Nxd5?? Qxd5 5.Qh5???? 10/10?
It is perfection only as an example of what not to do.

Not a single one of the comments criticizing the game offer any substantial advice though.
What do you think you offered when you said "It's a silly joke by a kid?" It's criticism without any advice, so really just an insult. At the very least, the comments congratulating him on his win don't potentially embarrass or demotivate him.
Criticism is fine if it is constructive. Just calling the game "silly" is useless.
Don't worry about what other people are saying on here. You're new to chess, you're going to learn and get better. Don't let anyone discourage you and just have fun.
