1. e4
i am curious, what other players critique of this game may be. I find it very interesting to read what someone else might see in the game. especially at move 6. when the queen comes out and is forced to move about. thanks

 
1... e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 h6 4. d4 exd4 5. Nxd4 Nxd4 6. Qxd4 b6 7. Nc3 Bb7 8. Bf4 Nf6 9. O-O-O Bc5
i know my queen is under attack and will be a main focus for his army while out in the middle of things, but i do believe i have a much better position. especially after o-o-o; his forces are pointed toward the kings side of the board. My forces are attacking the middle and kingside. He should castle queenside to equalize.

after taking the bishop here whith the knight o-o-o looks even better.

 
13... O-O
i think o-o was ill timed and in the wrong direction. i think he should of focused more on preserving his black bishop and moving his queen off the back row for o-o-o. with that as the his goal my forces could have been pushed back and delayed.

 
14. Nxe7+ Qxe7 15. Rhe1 Qd7 16. Rd3 Qg4 17. Bxh6 gxh6 18. Rg3 Qxg3 19. hxg3 Rae8 20. f3 d5
he did not realize the danger his king was in is only reason for this move

 
21. Rh1 Kh7 22. Qf6 Re6
this move baffled me at first, I couldn't understand why?

 
23. Rxh6+
