How could I have done better?

You should have captured his knight on move 4, and then again on move 6. I didn't really look that much further.

Really?
I figured that cramping white early would give me a bigger advantage than taking the knight.
I don't know, are doubled pawns worth having one of you own on the 5th rank?
Thanks for the tip. 🙂

Originally posted by TetsujinDon't over-value positional factors, sure sac a knight if you're way ahead in development and think you can exploit it, don't do it just so you can keep two pawns in the centre. You cramp a position in an attempt to win material or mate, if you're given it on a plate, take it.

Originally posted by DrumboI think that's harsh. It certainly looks like a beginners game, but aside from the obvious mistakes (not taking the N when you could right at the start), there seems to be some understanding of chess in general. I think you just need to start making sure you look at everything when you consider your move. Out of interest, did you not take the N at the start because you weren't looking for a capture, but looking for developing moves instead?
Dreadful play by both.....like something you'd expect to see from a small child
Originally posted by TetsujinBishop sac seems ok though b4 would have been a slightly better defence for him.
Well that's really why I asked. How would you guys see it?
Are talking about me giving up a knight and bishop to advance a pawn, for mate?
Maybe the bishop was a bit early, but I wouldnt have any regrets about the knight.
The Knight sac wasn't a real sac because when he took it you can force mate.

So the general idea is that I should have taken the knight at first chance.
Yes, I pretty much thought I could handle the knight anywhere is goes. Maybe it was a bit cocky, he did pick up a pawn with it.
Edit:
How exactly do you classify an open game vs a closed game?
