    I know the knightsac was not the best option but it looked too interesting to pass the oportunity.
    I did think I would get a faster and stronger attack though,didn't quite work out as well as I hoped.
    In the end I wanted to keep trying for a win but had no clue how so I took his draw offer.
    Any thoughts?Ideas?

    From this novices perspective, right from the get go I would have done 4. d4 taking control of the center and attacking the pawn. Someone more experienced than me might tell me I'm wrong, though.

    It just seems to me you gambitted away your f-pawn and then didn't use it to your advantage. In fact, your opponed was able to fortify a pawn chain that reaped havock on your king side - the very side you castled to.

    Had you considered at some point gxf4 to open up his exposed king along the g-file?

    The actual order is.

    1.induce a weakness in your opponent's camp.

    2.develope around that weakness.

    3.attack that weakness!!!!!!

    nonsense, that actual order is

    1. think of something beautiful
    2. look at the board in an appreciative way, the interaction of the pawns and the pieces, that beautiful square beckoning your bishop, that knight outpost, oh, how aesthetically pleasing, the awesome power of an open file,
    3. play with style, creativity and a natural flair! and watch in awe as you impose your mind on nature, as ideas are born from the fruit of reason and transcend the dawn of banal materialism 🙂

    At Qe1, why did you not play f5 instead? It seems you gave up a couple of pieces real quick there. I don't claim to know anything, it just sparked my curiosity?
