Did you notice that White could have played 8. fxe4 because Black can't play 8...Qxd4 due to 9. Bb5+ winning the Queen.  This is a good trick to remember because it comes up a lot.  After 8. fxe4, White has an imposing mobile center.  Also, instead of 10. g3?, 10. Kf1 Qxe4  11. Nc3 Qf5+  12. Nf3 would have lost only a pawn and given White a little lead in development as compensation.  White would still be losing, but at least he could keep playing for a long time (after getting his king safe (maybe Kf2, Re1, Kg1).  You can't just throw away games by playing reflex moves like 10. g3.  Worse yet is thinking "Well, I guess I have to play g3 because moving my king means I won't be able to castle."  Well, you can't castle if you throw your rook away either!  (Tasosfragos: when I say "you", I am talking to White (Taltz). I know you had Black.)  You have to always choose the least bad move when you are in trouble.  A pawn down and no castling = keep playing.  A rook down = resign.  A note to Black: real satisfaction comes when you defeat an opponent who defends well and yet you are still able to overcome even his best defense.  I hope in the future you are able to post wins against even stronger opposition.  But for now, I congratulate you on your superior tactical vision!
