I didn't look very hard. I'll leave it to better players then myself to go in depth. I will say go with Knight F3 on your second move here. Develop your Knights and Bishops before you start pushing your pawns. Keep your 3 Kings pawns on rank 2 as long as possible.
Hopefully greenpawn34 will take a look. He can give you constructive advice.

I see CeeDog put me up to look at this very scrappy game of chess.
The poster was Black - he won.
Yet again a player does not castle and gets hammered.
Nothing really wrong with Black's play - he punished some bad
planless moves by White.
The game was over when White missed the discovered check losing his Queen.
19.Rxf4 looks like a combo that also wins the White Queen.
One must be alert for such sacs as you cannot always depend
on a player missing a discovered check.
Then it was just Black ganging up on the exposed King.
At least Black is learning things - see the disaster that was

I am black, any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for the critique, it was a blitz game that I was actually proud of. And that disaster was a disaster, sometimes I get so caught up in MY strategizing for loosely tentative 4th and 5th moves I lose sight of my opponents very next move, that can sure be frustrating.
Again thanks, I am relatively new to taking chess seriously, and I have just read through Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess, which is helpful but maybe a bit beneath my skill level, I did not have any stutter-steps even playing through, very cool idea for an interactive book though. can anyone vouch for Chessmaster? I have heard or read it is great, but I want at least one more opinion...
Thanks again,
JCCIV
Originally posted by greenpawn34Definitely, I was looking at that myself. It looks like black wins on the spot with that. Unless... unless... suppose white goes crazy with Rxd5 rather than the recapture? Black can't capture the rook, in view of Bxd5 Qxd5+ where it's black whose king gets hunted? And, of course, if black doesn't, there's a discovered check... and if black moves the king, we can resume the same line as before -- white takes the rook on f4, but now white's rook covers c5...
We saw what you wrote, but knew what you meant.
Everybody agree with my Rxf4 PxR, Qh4+ Kd2, Qf2+ Kd3, Nc5+....?
