No doubt we both made major mistakes, but is there anything I missed here in terms of blunders or quicker ways to get the mate? Chess feels amazing when it goes well, which for someone of my rating is not that often 😉

one lesson to learn from the game is not to have a piece in front of the enemy pawn storm - 14...Ng4??

I realised my opponent was a good few hundred rating points above me about half way through the game. Felt myself hesitating a little more, but then thought, 'just go for it, so what if you lose'. That attitude seemed to work for me. This time.
