Hi, this is the first game I post here. Would like to hear your thoughts about this game, was it a good play by me or bad play by him.. Could I have finished him sooner?

 I personally would have made some different sacrifices, but it got the job done.  Nice game!

Thanks for the reply unbeliever. Do you mind pointing out those sacrifices, cause that was one of the thing I was looking to get some answears to.

Hmm, maybe 7. Ndb5 seems a bit better than f3. It forces the queen to retreat, while putting your knight in a much more active square.

16.Nc5 has some shock value, but what if he replies 16...Nh5 ? to deflect your queen from the control of e5 ?

16... Nh5? Would have been replied by 17. Dg5 still putting pressure on the e 5 and on the knight as well... 17..... f6 looses a pawn and 17... g6 is not reliable either since b-4 somewhere in the process...  Yes probably 7.Ndb5 would have been better, forcing the queen on b-8
