I was black and I went on to win.

If he hadn't trapped his own queen with 6. Qg4 and 7. Nf3 and instead played 6.Qf6 you would have been down a pawn. And with a knight on the rim, you probably lacked conpensation for sed pawn.

u did give him a pawn though

Nice queen capture.  When faced against someone playing that against me I like to play 2 ... Nc6 and then follow up with 3 ... Nf6 (Although if 3 Bc4 then g6 is needed to prevent checkmate).  Saves you from losing the pawn and develops pieces

Yea, it is a very good idea, unless there is a sure MATE, or win of big material, to keep her away from the outer squares for a bit.  Nice game :).

Yeah you really should play Nc6 instead of Nf6 after Qh5 and attack the Queen on the next move.
