Crazy, Tactical Game! Improvement requests please!

This was a wild, crazy game played between two casual players The white player would like to know what he/she could've done better. What training ideas / resources would you recommend for the white player's weaknesses?

Crazy game! After targeting f7 white of course missed a destructive capture of the blocking bishop on e6 probably Bxe6 fxe6 Nxe6 the most dangerous. I suggest that once a threat is met to check if the opponents defence is adequate. It seemed white simply assumed his primary target f7 was now covered and quickly moved on forgetting to look at other squares ie e6. 0-0 wasnt possible at that point but the wandering king was on some suicide mission really im not sure what kd2 was about and how it survived. Im all for creating threats before castling if possible but out of 20 games neglecting king safety entirely and strolling mid board with loads of enemy pieces around will win 1 cool game like this and lose 19 horribly.

With few exceptions, I think one game is never enough to make a generalization about a player's weaknesses. I've seen great players play some very bad games. But I can still say I cannot understand white's play in certain spots.

Thanks for the help!

I'd personally recommend the white player to:

*Before moving, ask "Can I take something for free?" and "Can my opponent take something for free, if I make this move?" - basically, don't miss very simple ways your opponent can win.

Nxf7 in the opening was a huge mistake - If you asked yourself what your opponent could do, you wouldn't have made this move - he can just take the knight, and nothing happens, except you lose a knight. 

*Develop your pieces, control the center, and *castle* early - do these things, and don't try to worry about too much else in the opening. 

Almost stopped watching after 2...e5, and stopped watching after 4..cxd6.

How do you teach beginners not to hang stuff?

They just need to play lots and lots of games, with emphasis on (trying to) check the opponent's response.

Soon board vision will get better. Personally, I just played a lot of games.

You stopped watching after move four? Why? The game just started

Whenever I play beginners the hardest thing to do is to stop them from hanging pieces. I do not know. Looks like second nature not to hang stuff. I can get destroyed in a tactical position, but hanging pieces. Nope.

respond to your opponent's threats when you have too...just letting the knight sit at b5 was a mistake....I would have moved a3 or c3 right away on move 6. ...then when the knight moves back get your white bishop out and castle in 2 moves....prevents all the other nonsense later, doesn't it???

After the move 5 it was apparent that both were beginers.In any game for that matter if there is

no immediate threat to your king or major piece, at your level it is better to win material if it is

available for free..eg..5..Be6 by black what prevented you from taking the bishop and take pawn with knight?..if Q goes after your knight Nb5 would have put black in a posn,to lose his queen..

Hey, i want to thank everyone for their advice, it was amazing to look at things differently, like my threat on f7 being redirected at the black bishop, i was the one playing white, and as for my extremely odd Kd2.. it was an actual misclick, and for that seemingly meaningless knight sacrifice, the entire idea was to prevent my opponent from castling at all, as i felt his situation would be much better if he castled, so i sacrificed my knight to bait his king into taking it.

I can't stress this enough, if you want to improve watch as many Kingscrusher videos as possible. I recommend that your training regimen look like this: 

3 Hours of Tactics 

4 Hours Kingscrusher videos

1 Hours Solving Lessons

1 Hour Read 

1 Hour Play

5 Hours Kingscrusher videos

Sleep, and repeat. 

My immediate thought - two bad initial king moves from both players. Black should not be taking pieces with his king when other pieces can do this job keeping the king less exposed.

Ah... you say white's king move was a mis-click (?) however white should not have even clicked on the king in the first place, as castling wouldn't be allowed here.

Dpnorman's post in #3 was very useful for both players I thought!!

I suspect it will make you very good at watching youtube videos

Firstly, Nxf7 does not force his king to take because he can play Qxf7, which defends his bishop, or even Bxf7 back. 

But really important: you can only get away with such sacrifices if your pieces are very well placed to launch some attack. All I see is a knight on a3, very far from the king, and other undeveloped pieces. So even Kxf7 is not a bad move for black because white's attack is unrealistic.
