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 😉

It was very kind of your opponent to move the c8 Bishop 4 times in the opening, and also weaken g6 with the moves ...f6? and ...h5? I think you did a good job taking advantage of the weaknesses in Black's position. Once you get Nc5 in, it's all downhill for Black.

Thank you 🙂
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.
