@Ivanna-vengeance deciding to respond doesn't mean I care what they say, just want to clarify certain things if they think its a blunder fest then that's their opinion and they can walk off a cliff with it.

Tal is rolling in his grave right now.
@mikespike learn your manners fool read lichess.org/page/forum-etiquette if you don't want to get chat banned, frick I don't think you should be on lichess because of your behavior issues
Yep...Tal would be very proud.If he were to be resurrected I'm sure he'd want to die again after seeing this game.

That game is the one reason why Tal would not want to be resurrected
#1- That game is a blunderfest from both sides.

1. April right?
Sure, it was a great and a chaotic game and you played well, but "A game that even Mikhail Tal would be proud off" is a bit too much, man. I mean, you should be proud of this game that you won.
@mikespike Let's look at this:
8. Ng4: What sort of move is this? Retreating your knight and missing an obvious fork and calling it "attack"? What's worse, it loses a piece, the "attacking" knight of g4 itself. What irony!
10. Qh5: Now Qe8! and you have absolutely nothing. But I can excuse you on that. Even if white could achieve a ~-1 position according to the computer, where black is only slightly better, it's a pretty hard task to do by the looks of it. And the -1 was also cause of an opponent blunder that would have otherwise been a -3. But again, it's a hard attack to spot and the attack for white looks more like a long term advantage that is hard to maintain.
And then later, your opponent blundered with 13... Nxa1??, allowing Nd5+, winning a piece, so that is good.
And what happens after 14. Nd5+ is a chaotic position where both sides naturally end up blundering a lot. Nothing out of the unusual.
20. Bc6+ was a blunder but 20. Bf6! was a beautiful tactic. You missed it, but it is hard to find tactics like those at times. But again, nothing out of the unusual here for a player at your level.
23... Be6?? and 24. Rc1?? exemplify something sinilar, but 24. Bc6+ did seem somewhat natural.
29. Qd8+ you finally find that crushing sequence of moves that at least wins material.
36. Rd7?? missing a 3-fold apparently. Again, hard to spot, but nothing out of the unusual.
And then the game just ended "normally".
Overall, I would say that you played average except for 8. Ng4 (just why???). I would play mostly the same way (of course noticing a few different tactics and possibly missing a few others but seriously why 8. Ng4????). And in such a messy situation on the board, people are bound to make blunders.
Now I'm not saying you played badly necessarily (but seriously tho, 8. Ng4???). I'm saying that there is no point bragging about this when there really isn't much to brag about. But if you want to ask for tips, you may. I use computer analysis to help me analyze (and I did so here too) and it got me great insight.
TL;DR by all means, ask for tips, but don't brag pointlessly.
