Another falkbeer counter gambit game

Another counter gamit game. The last two moves cost me the game. I was holding off the attack well.

1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 e4 4. d3 Nf6 5. Nc3 Bb4 6. Qe2 Qxd5 7. Bd2 Bxc3 8. Bxc3 Bg4 9. Qe3 Nbd7 10. h3 O-O 11. hxg4 exd3 12. Qxd3 Rfe8+ 13. Be2 Qxg2 14. Qf3 Rxe2+ 15. Nxe2 Qxf3 {White resigns} 0-1



14. I should have played Qh3
15. I should have played Qxe2 instead of Nxe2

My first Faalkbeer counter gambit

This is my first Faalkbeer counter gambit game. I have read about this opening. Never played it.

Altough I was beaten, I think I played fairly well.

1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 e4 4. Nc3 Nf6 5. d3 Bb4 6. dxe4 Nxe4 7. Bd2 Qh4+ 8. g3 Nxg3 9. hxg3 Qxh1 10. Qe2+ Be7 11. Nf3 Bg4 12. O-O-O Qxf3 13. Qxf3 Bxf3 14. Re1 f5 15. Bb5+ c6 16. dxc6 Nxc6 17. Re5 Be4 18. Nxe4 fxe4 19. Rxe4 Kd7 20. Rd4+ Kc7 21. Re4 Rhe8 22. Bc3 Bf6 23. Rxe8 Rxe8 24. Bxf6 gxf6 25. Bxc6 Kxc6 {White resigns} 0-1



After the game my opponent pointed out that I could have played 19 Bb4 winning a bishop.

Looks like my opponent missed a mate in 4. 9. .. Qxg3+ 10. Ke2 Bg4+ 11. Nf3 Qxf3+ 12. Ke1 Qg3#
I should have played 16 d6 attacking the pinned bishop
