Well I don't feel like analyzing the whole game right now but after glancing through it I think that your second move 2. Nf3 was a miscalculation because if your opponent had played 2...Bg4 I think it would have hurt your positioning. However, you seem to position your pieces well and your patience paid off. I've noticed that players are more likely to blunder online because they just get impatient with the game, so maybe that's what happened here.

In that sort of position, after 1. f4 d5 2. Nf3 Bg4, White plays e3 and the game tends to enter a Stonewall variation, a game with which I am somewhat familiar and fairly comfortable playing.
Hello all. Just won a game using the Bird Opening; I would greatly appreciate if some analysis could be sent my way on any inaccuracies, blunders, etc., that I made so that I can improve later.
