Interesting checkmate.
20.... Be4 would have held, and possibly even won for Black.

Yes, 20...Be4 wins. If 21.Qxh6 Bh7 threatening 22...Rf6 23.Bxf6 Qxe6+ and 24...Qxf6.
Black wins quicker with 19...Nxe5 and 20...Bxh1.
14...h6? Best is 14...Nxe5
16...a6 is not as good as 16...Bg5, followed by Bxe5 and Qxb5.
18.Nf3 was bad. White can play 18.Nxd5 and if 18...Qxd5, then 19.Qxg4.
Why 2. e4?
At the end is the bishop and rook sacrifice. He shouldv'e known better than to take the pieces, but aside from that, I don't think I played this game too well either. What do you think?
