This is a game that i played today.I dont know how i found this mate but i thought this could be a great puzzle for you guys so enjoy the puzzle :)
Very nice! I quite like that.
White's moves are not best.
3. Nf3, Nd4 and the mate is delayed.
2. Nf3 or 2. d3 or 2. Nc3 and the mate is avoided (I believe). Regardless, there are a number of moves that delay or avoid mate on White's first move!
A mating puzzle should always have a clear, forced mate. This is not a puzzle, it's just a series of moves from a game you played. That being said, good job finding it in your game.

it's also not a suprising checkmate. It took me about 3 seconds to find the first move because as soon as the white moves the pawn on g3 then the possibility of Qh4+ is screaming out. Also, as gambit1985 correctly points out, for a good puzzle white's moves should be forced. In this case they are not forced; they are not even the best moves.
Nevertheless, it's an interestng game (though short) and thanks for posting it.
