nicely done, you played very precisely i thought. i really liked your knight moves 11-14, way to set that up!
Great game. Since you're clearly so ecstatic about your performance, I think it would be best to not rain on your parade by pointing out some of your flawed moves.

A little humility wouldn't hurt me! Go ahead, please point out how I could have done better.

Thank you Mottsauce!
On second thought, errors on your part are exceedingly difficult to find. Your technique was logical, your tactical opportunism was infallible, and your strategy was sensible. The only nits that I could pick were your decision to blow up the queenside by 4...a5, which led to a roughly equal position (I would have gone for more restrained play by 4...Bb7 /\...a6, ...f6, etc., but that's just my taste), and 11...Nd4, whose critical test is 12. exd4 Bxh1 13. Qh5+ Kf8 14. dxe5 when White's queen, bishops, and sickly h3-knight combine to attack Black's king. On the other hand, Black is up the exchange. In any case, it's certainly better for White than the game continuation, but I suppose that White wasn't in the mood for making good moves. Superb game!

I would be so happy to play like this 2 games in a row.
