Good golashes! 10...Be7 sure fatally double-dutied that bishop. 10...Be6 was the move there, wasn't it? You skillfully took advantage of his error, which is exactly what chess is all about, isn't it. Congrats!

6...e5? was a mistake and you really capitalized on his king remaining in the center--well done. That said, your attack was slow which gave your opponent chances to slip away. For example, 7.d3?!. I would rather see 7.Re1 or 7.d4. And after 7.Na5? you had 8.Nxe5!. Tactics! You win a pawn and if your opponent wasn't wary, the whole enchilada.

9...c5? was weak. Black could've held with 9...Qxd1 10.Nxd1 Be6 11.Nxd5 O-O-O. You're up a pawn, but your pawn structure doesn't guarantee a win, and your opponent has the bishop pair. Black has excellent chances of holding the draw.

Of course, 10...Be7?? was suicide.

nice job, I agree with likesforest though - d4 instead of d3 is better, protect that light bishop!
