It never really seemed like you were that far behind. Good win though.

I saw some cool posibilities for black on move 14:

That's a good spot Viv. That would have been a turn around!

Instead of retreating the Rook from c6 White could have wrapped it thus.

[pgn][Date "????.??.??"]
[Result "*"]
[FEN "rn2k2r/pppb1pp1/4pq2/8/1BBP2p1/1Q3P2/PP4PP/R4RK1 b kq - 0 1"]

1...Rxh2 2.Kxh2 Qh4+ 3.Kg1 g3 { No way to stop mate. And black still could've caused a world of trouble, if you didn't take the rook.}

This reminds me of a position in the "Fishing Pole" however, that is a King pawn opening.

No black can play the simple Qc5 and that plan is thwarted.

You don't want to do that. It looks stupid.

I think this game was good because of the rating difference, not necessarily because it was a brilliant game.
